Gummy Smile Correction in Morristown, NJ
What is a Gummy Smile?
A gummy smile is when a person’s upper lip lifts too high, revealing an excessive amount of gum tissue while smiling. Excessive gingival display can adversely impact the aesthetic appearance of your smile. At Enriched Aesthetics in Morristown, NJ, we specialize in effective gummy smile treatment to help you achieve a balanced, more confident smile.
Causes of Excessive Gum Display
It is common for several factors to contribute to a gummy smile, including:
- High Gumline: When the gums are naturally positioned higher on the teeth.
- Overactive Lip Muscles: Excessive muscle movement may cause the lip to rise too much.
- Tooth or Jaw Structure: Proportions between the teeth and jaw can also impact how much gum is visible when smiling.
Gummy smiles can be caused by several factors, which need to be identified in determining the most effective treatment.
