I hate how much gums I have showing. Any suggestions?
In-Person Examination by Periodontist Is Best

Thanks
for posting your photos. You have a wonderful smile. There are a number of
treatment options designed to reduce the amount of gums that show for people
who are concerned about gummy smiles. Recommending a specific procedure,
however, requires the detailed results of a physical assessment to diagnose the
cause of the gummy smile. As other specialists previously responded, it’s
possible that you would benefit from oral surgery to reposition your jaw. That

A Gum Lift Can Help

Thank
you for your question. Based on the photos provided, it appears you could
benefit from laser gum contouring (sometimes called a gum lift). If you are
considering orthodontic work for your teeth, your orthodontist will be able to
diagnose the cause of your gummy smile and suggest a treatment plan. Gum
contouring combined with a lip lowering procedure is often the best approach
for reducing the appearance of a gummy smile.

Will Lip Lift Make Gummy Smile Worse?
Lip Lift May Work Against You
Jun 29, 2016
Jun 29, 2016
A lip
lift will expose more of your gums and create more of a gummy smile. Others
have suggested getting BOTOX injections, which weaken the muscles that lift
your upper lip. That will produce a more relaxed smile, but remember that BOTOX
is a temporary treatment that usually wears off after about 3 to 4 months. Good
luck to you.

Think About a Smile Makeover — and a Consultation
Jun 29, 2016
Jun 29, 2016
Thank
you for including photos with your question. At a glance, a smile makeover may
work for you, but the best discussion about specific procedures or treatments
is informed by X-rays and a complete assessment of your facial anatomy. Find a
board-certified periodontist or orthodontist who can diagnose the reason for
the asymmetry shown in your photos. Good luck.

Can You Get a Gum Lift Before Invisalign or Braces?
This Warrants In-Person Examination
Jun 29, 2016
Jun 29, 2016
: Hi, Live and Learn. As others have
pointed out, the first step before getting either braces or a gum lift is to
have a thorough examination by qualified specialists to ensure that your
treatment plan is appropriate. A periodontist can decide if treatment for a
gummy smile is appropriate, and an orthodontist can subsequently discuss how
Invisalign or braces can help. It’s also possible that you’ll be happy with
your smile after a gum lift and elect not to have your teeth straightened.

Should teeth bleaching be done before or after a gum lift?
Gum Lift Before Bleaching
Jun 29, 2016
Jun 29, 2016
Gum
contouring, which is sometimes called a gum lift, removes excess gum tissue
around the teeth. This exposes more of the teeth, making them look longer.
Accordingly, I would suggest undergoing a gum lift before bleaching the teeth,
so that the newly exposed portions of the teeth also benefit. At my practice, I
often combine gum contouring with lip lowering surgery to reduce the appearance
of a gummy smile. For the best possible results, I recommend looking for a
periodontist with…
