Gummy Smile Relaxant
Reducing the amount of gum you display can enhance your smile
A new and more natural smile
Everyone loves a great smile. However, some people can feel reluctant to show their natural feelings of pleasure due to having a ‘gummy smile’. A ‘gummy smile’ happens if the upper lip elevates too far above the upper teeth and a large amount of gum is exposed.
Why choose a gummy smile relaxant?
One of the causes of a gummy smile is a hyperactive muscle in the upper lip, which lifts the lip higher than the normal range. Fortunately, Botulinum Toxin injections can help reduce this effect by calming the hyperactive muscle – and giving a new and attractive smile that doesn’t show as much gum.
