Gum Aesthetics

For a dazzling smile, harmony of teeth, lips and gums is very important. While cute and impressive smiles that are compatible with the facial structure play an important role in social relations, non-aesthetic smiles make the person more unhappy and irritable and negatively affect social relations. Gummy Smile is also a non-aesthetic appearance in which the gums are thick when smiling. In these situations, the person hesitates to laugh and is afraid to get involved in social life. With Gummy Smile botox, this condition that impairs the aesthetics of the smile is eliminated, allowing the person to smile without hesitation.
Gummy smile botox is a cosmetic treatment method in which botulinum toxin (botox) injections are used to treat or correct the condition where a person's gums are excessively visible when smiling. Excessive exposure of the gums during speaking or laughing is called Gummy Smile. Normally, the gums should be visible very thinly when speaking or laughing, but in Gummy Smile, the gums appear much more prominent and thicker.
