Gummy Smile
A gummy smile is essentially the excessive appearance of your gums when you smile with your teeth. This is typically the cause of having strong upper lip muscles that restrain the movement of the upper lip, and for those who find it bothersome, Botox is an easy and highly effective solution. By administering two injections, the upper lip muscles will relax and not remain raised, giving you an aesthetically pleasing smile. The procedure takes only a few minutes, with its full effects appearing in about a week and the results lasting from four to six months.
