A Gummy Smile occurs when a person’s upper gums are overly visible when they smile, often due to an overactive upper lip muscle or excessive gum tissue. This can make the smile appear unbalanced or less aesthetically pleasing. Botox is a non-surgical treatment that can help relax the muscle responsible for lifting the upper lip, reducing the amount of visible gum and creating a more natural, balanced smile.
