Gummy Smile Treatment
Transform Your Smile, Enhance Your Confidence
A beautiful smile can brighten your entire face — but when too much gum shows while smiling, it may make you feel self-conscious. Known as a “gummy smile” or excessive gingival display, this condition can make teeth appear smaller and affect facial balance.
At Dr. Ram Aesthetics, we offer advanced, non-surgical Gummy Smile Treatment in Isle of Man to help you achieve a more balanced, natural-looking smile. Our safe and effective injectable treatments relax the muscles that cause excessive gum display, giving you a confident and radiant smile.
What is a Gummy Smile?
A gummy smile occurs when more than 2 millimetres of gum tissue is visible above the upper teeth while smiling. Though completely harmless, many people prefer a more proportionate appearance between their teeth, lips, and gums.
Common causes include:
- Overactive or hypermobile upper lip muscles
- Short upper lip or small teeth
- Excessive growth of the upper jaw (maxilla)
- Genetic or hereditary traits
At Dr. Ram Aesthetics, we use precise injectable treatments to gently relax the upper lip muscles, reducing the gum exposure when you smile — without surgery or downtime.
Key Factors Causing Gummy Smile
Several factors contribute to causing gummy smiles, and some are as follows:
Family trait
It might be seen that gummy smiles are a genetic factor. If the parents have a gummy smile, ultimately, the child might gets the same
The difference in the growth of the teeth
Studies reflect that the inappropriate growth of the teeth also leads to gummy smiles.
Difference in lips
Hypermobile lips and the size of the lips are also responsible for having a gummy smile.
Excessive growth of the upper jaw
It’s also a critical reason that leads to gummy smiles and makes the smile reveal the jaw excessively.
What is the Treatment?
Our non-surgical injectable treatment works by relaxing the overactive muscles around the upper lip, preventing it from lifting too high when smiling.
