Gummy Smile Correction – Reveal a Balanced, Confident Smile
Gummy Smile Correction – Reveal a Balanced, Confident Smile
What is a Gummy Smile?
A gummy smile is when a significant portion of the upper gums shows while smiling — often more than 3–4 mm — making some people feel self-conscious about their smile.
This can be caused by:
• Overactive upper lip muscles
• Short upper lip
• Excessive gum tissue
• Small or worn-down teeth
• Jawbone structure
At Dermosphere Clinic, we offer customized, non-surgical and minimally invasive treatments to correct gummy smiles — helping you achieve a harmonious, attractive smile that looks natural and confident.
Why Do Gummy Smiles Occur?
• Muscular cause: Hyperactive levator labii muscles that lift the lip too high
• Dental cause: Short or small teeth
• Gingival cause: Excess gum tissue (gingival hypertrophy)
• Skeletal cause: Protruding or vertical maxillary excess (jaw-related)

2. Lip Flip or Lip Fillers
