However, some people feel self-conscious about showing too much gum when they smile (a \u201cgummy smile\u201d), so they feel the need to cover their mouths with their hands or clench their lips when smiling. This condition, referred to as a \u201cgummy smile\u201d in the field of cosmetic dentistry, is typically caused by overactivity of the muscles that lift the upper lip.<\/p><div

If your gums are visible by more than 3\u20134 millimeters when you smile, this condition <strong>Gummy Smile<\/strong> is called.<\/p><p><strong>Hyperactive Muscles:<\/strong> The most common cause of a gummy smile is the muscles that lift the upper lip (especially <em>Levator of the Upper Lip and Nose Wing<\/em> (muscle) works much harder than usual. When you laugh, these muscles pull your lips up excessively and completely expose your gums.<\/p><p><strong>Other Causes:<\/strong> A short upper lip, excessive vertical growth of the upper jawbone, or gums that cover the teeth too much can also cause this appearance. However, in cases of muscle-related issues, the most effective solution is not surgery, <strong>Botox<\/strong> process.<\/p><h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Gummy_Smile_Tedavisinde_Botoks_Nasil_Etki_Eder\"><\/span>How Does Botox Work in the Treatment of a Gummy Smile?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3><p><strong>Botox<\/strong>, is a powerful neurotoxin used not only to treat wrinkles but also to counteract excessive muscle movement.<\/p><p><strong>Mechanism<\/strong> In the treatment of a gummy smile, <strong>Botox<\/strong> It is injected into specific muscle points (Yonsei points) located at the sides of the nose that lift the upper lip. This procedure temporarily relaxes the muscle and reduces its strength.<\/p><p><strong>Conclusion:<\/strong> When the contracted muscle relaxes, the upper lip is released and drops slightly. This prevents the lip from lifting too high when the person smiles, thereby covering the gums. The result is an aesthetically pleasing smile in which only the teeth are visible and the gums are hidden.<\/p><h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Uygulama_Sureci_Hizli_ve_Konforlu\"><\/span>Application Process: Fast and Convenient<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3><p>Gummy Smile Botox is a procedure known as \u201clunch-break aesthetics\u201d that doesn\u2019t disrupt your social life.<\/p><ul><li><strong>Duration:<\/strong> The process takes only 5 to 10 minutes.<\/li><li><strong>Pain Level:<\/strong> Because very fine needles are used, pain is minimal.

It carries no risk of bleeding, swelling, or scarring.<\/p><p><strong>Natural Appearance:<\/strong> When performed with the correct dosage, the smile remains unaffected; only the appearance of the gums is brought back to normal limits.<\/p><h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Etki_Suresi_ve_Kalicilik\"><\/span>Duration of Effect and Persistence<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3><p><strong>Botox for a Gummy Smile<\/strong> It is not a permanent procedure. As the muscles regain their strength, the duration of the effect varies from person to person, but on average <strong>3 to 6 months<\/strong> lasts for a certain period. Since muscles weaken over time with regular, repeated treatments, it has been observed that the duration of the effect increases.
