Having a gummy smile means that a bigger than average portion of your gum tissue is exposed when you smile. This can disrupt the symmetry of your facial features.
The most typical reason for this is the presence of extra gingiva. When this happens, your teeth are the correct size, but they are being covered by a larger amount of gum tissue.
Gummy smiles are considered to be more of an aesthetic issue than a functional one. They can be caused by several factors including your skeletal proportions, facial muscles, amount of gum tissue and shape and size of your lips and teeth.
Botox is a very good choice of treatment for a gummy smile if the gummy smile is caused by a hyperactive upper lip muscle.
Our experienced medical practitioners know where to inject Botox for gummy smile reduction that will deliver the best results for your face. Botox will paralyse the muscle animation and inhibit your smile moving too high up and excessively showing your gums.
Botulinum Toxin, commonly referred to as Botox® is a FDA Approved common and painless procedure.
Botox® is an injectable wrinkle muscle relaxer. It uses botulinum toxin type A, to temporarily paralyze a muscle.
Botox® treatments are minimally invasive. It’s considered a safe and effective cosmetic treatment with millions of treatments carried out worldwide on a daily basis.
Although, Botox® is a cosmetic procedure it can also be used for a range of health benefits too.
The upper lip may widen too far exposing the gums when you smile, which can make people feel self-conscious. This happens due to the hyperactive upper lip muscles. our advanced Gummy smile treatment injects Botox® in the levator labii superioris muscles to reduce the movement of the upper lips when smiling. This advanced treatment is available at Surrey and Harpenden.
Small amounts of Botox® are injected into the muscle of the problem area. The Botox® toxin relaxes the muscle by hindering all signals that are normally made from the nerve to contract the muscle. You then achieve a smoothed-out appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Once the injection is made, the muscle will no longer be able to contract–allowing the wrinkles to soften and completely disappear over time. The effect of the treatment will usually last for around 3-4 months and you will require a top up to maintain the results.
Most importantly, Botox® treatments are literally painless. The maximum pain you will experience is the prick/pinching as the needle is being injected into the skin. However, your Consultant may be able to apply a topical numbing agent before the procedure if your not a needle person.
