A gummy smile occurs when an excessive amount of gum tissue shows above the top teeth when smiling, often caused by hyperactive upper lip elevator muscles. Using precise micro-doses of Botox, Dr. Charu Singh gently relaxes these muscles so the upper lip gracefully lowers to cover excess gum line, creating a balanced, confident, and radiant smile.
Graceful Coverage of Gum Line
When smiling, if more than 3 to 4 millimeters of upper gum tissue is exposed, it is clinically termed a gummy smile (excessive gingival display). Often, this happens because the levator labii superioris alaeque nasi muscle—the muscle that elevates the upper lip—pulls upward with excessive force. Non-surgical smile correction uses strategic micro-injections of Botox to gently weaken this hyperactive pull, allowing the lip to rest in a lower, balanced position during expression.
