What is Gummy Smile?
When your gum tissue grows down covering the teeth, the smile appearance becomes too gummy and the teeth appear too small. This often happens while wearing braces, or because of hormone changes, or as a side effect of some medications.
What is the solution?
Smile is made up of more than just teeth & we appreciate all the aspects of the smile have to be in balance and harmony for the smile to be at its best. One of the most often-overlooked and misunderstood parts of the smile are the gums.
