What is a Gummy Smile?
Excess gum tissue visibility during a smile identifies a gummy smile, leading to the perception of shorter teeth and a less visually appealing smile. Although this is a prevalent concern for many people, it has the potential to affect self-confidence and impede social interactions.
Botox & Gummy Smile
Botox is an excellent option for treating a gummy smile. It targets and relaxes the muscles that cause excessive lifting of the upper lip during smiling.
Injecting Botox into specific muscles around the upper lip, such as the LLSAN and zygomaticus minor muscles, reduces the upward movement of the lip, resulting in less gum tissue exposure and a more balanced smile
Effectiveness of Botox for Gummy Teeth
In a 2016 study conducted in a dermatology clinic in Riyadh, Botox was used to treat 23 women with gummy smiles. The procedure is aimed at weakening the elevator muscles in their lips.
As a result of the Botox treatment, 99.6 percent of the women saw a major difference in their smiles after 2 weeks.

- Customized Treatment Plan: Our personalized approach at CosmeDocs helps ensure optimal results. So, we tailor the dosage of Botox to each individual based on your specific anatomy and the severity of the gummy smile.

- Follow-Up Care: We believe in comprehensive care, which includes post-treatment follow-up to ensure your satisfaction and address any concerns you may have.
Results and Maintenance:
Duration of results: Botox gradually relaxes the treated muscles over the following days to weeks, resulting in less upward movement of the upper lip when smiling.
Maintenance: The effects of Botox on the muscles usually last for 4 to 6 months before gradually wearing off. So, Gummy Smile Botox maintenance sessions are recommended to sustain the desired reduction in gum exposure.
