A gummy smile, characterized by excessive gum exposure when you smile, can affect your self-confidence and the overall aesthetics of your smile. Team Reconface specializes in providing gummy smile correction procedures to help you achieve a more balanced and beautiful smile.

Understanding Gummy Smiles

A gummy smile can result from various factors, including:

Excessive Gum Tissue: An overgrowth of gum tissue can lead to excessive gum exposure when you smile.
Short Upper Lip: A shorter upper lip can reveal more of your gums when you smile.
Hyperactive Lip Muscles: Overactive lip muscles can cause the upper lip to rise higher, exposing more gum tissue.
