How Does Gummy Smile Treatment Work?

Using Botox to fix gummy smiles is a simple and minimally invasive cosmetic procedure which involves injecting Botox into specific facial muscles that excessively lift the upper lip while smiling. By relaxing these muscles, Botox reduces the display of the gum line, resulting in a more balanced and visually pleasing smile. 


Our in-house doctor will administer Botox to the muscles that are accountable for lifting the upper lip. Botox, through restricting muscle movements, minimises the visibility of the excessive gum line during smiling, hence delivering a natural and appealing smile.
