Gummy Smile Correction Treatment in Hyderabad

Do you feel self-conscious about showing too much gum when you smile? A “gummy smile,” medically known as excessive gingival display, occurs when a significant portion of your upper gums is visible during a full smile. While not a medical concern, it can affect smile aesthetics and confidence. At Dr. Nishita’s Clinic in Hyderabad, we offer a simple, highly effective, non-surgical solution using Botulinum Toxin to relax the upper lip elevator muscles, resulting in a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing smile.

Understanding Gummy Smile

A gummy smile can be caused by several factors:

  • Hyperactive Upper Lip Elevator Muscles: The most common cause treatable with Botulinum Toxin. Muscles that lift the upper lip (like the levator labii superioris alaeque nasi) pull it up too high, exposing more gum.
  • Short Upper Lip: A naturally shorter upper lip may not adequately cover the gums.
  • Vertical Maxillary Excess: The upper jawbone is excessively long in the vertical dimension. (This requires surgical correction).
  • Altered Passive Eruption: Teeth appear short because they are partially covered by excessive gum tissue. (This requires dental procedures).
  • Gingival Hypertrophy: Overgrowth of gum tissue, sometimes due to medications or inflammation. (Requires dental treatment).

We primarily address gummy smiles caused by hyperactive upper lip muscles.

Our Tailored Approach to Gummy Smile Correction

Dr. Nishita will carefully assess your smile, the degree of gingival display, and the activity of your upper lip muscles to determine if Botulinum Toxin is the appropriate treatment.

A very small, carefully calculated amount of Botulinum Toxin is injected into the muscles responsible for elevating the upper lip.

The goal is to subtly lower the upper lip to cover more of the gum, creating a natural and harmonious smile, without affecting your ability to express yourself.

The procedure is very quick with minimal discomfort.

The injection sites are cleansed. Numbing cream is usually not necessary due to the small needle and quick injections.

Dr. Nishita administers precise micro-injections of Botulinum Toxin on either side of the nose, into the target muscles.

The entire injection process takes only a few minutes.

No specific downtime. You can resume normal activities immediately. Avoid rubbing the area for a few hours.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Results typically last for 3-4 months, sometimes longer with repeated treatments.

You will usually start to notice the effects within 3-7 days, with the full result apparent by 2 weeks, revealing less gum exposure when you smile.

Most patients report minimal discomfort, like a tiny pinch. The injections are very quick.

Side effects are rare and usually mild, such as temporary pinpoint bruising or slight tenderness at the injection site. In very rare cases, an asymmetrical smile might occur if the product spreads, but this is minimised by expert technique and typically resolves.

This treatment is most effective for gummy smiles caused by hyperactive upper lip muscles. If the cause is skeletal or due to excessive gum tissue, other dental or surgical treatments may be more appropriate. Dr. Nishita will assess your suitability.
