If you think that too much of your gums are on show when you smile, Botox treatment for gummy smile could help.
Several factors can contribute to a gummy smile. These include the way your teeth have grown and their size, the size of your lips, an overgrowth of your jaw, and a hyperactive upper lip.
If the main cause of your gummy smile is hyperactivity of your upper lip, then anti-wrinkle injections could help. A gummy smile can be effectively corrected with Botulinum Toxin. It's a quick and simple treatment and a small amount of Botox can be placed strategically to reduce excessive gum showing.
Botox or other brands of botulinum toxin, such as Bocouture, Azzalure, Letybo and Nuceiva will relax the muscles causing hyperactivity so the lip is repositioned and hides your gums.
If you have botulinum toxin injections to treat your gummy smile, then you can expect a quick (less than an hour) and pain-free procedure. You'll just feel a sharp scratch as the injections go in.
There may be some redness and swelling around injection points, but this will calm down after a few hours. Normal activity can resume immediately after treatment.
The full result of gummy smile reduction treatment usually takes two weeks to take effect and will last three to six months.
Seeing someone with experience in gummy smile treatment is far more important than getting a cheap deal!
Gummy smile Botox (and wrinkle reduction botulinum toxin treatment in general) is a minimally invasive procedure and prices can range from £200 to £400, often depending on the clinic location and practitioner expertise.
Side effects from Botox and other brands of botulinum toxins are rare, but can include:
Headaches
Asymmetric smile
Swelling, pain and bruising around the injection site
Allergic reaction
Dry eyes or mouth
The most dangerous complications are double vision and difficulty breathing, but these are thankfully extremely rare.
If you experience any side effects or complications, contact your practitioner immediately.
Find someone with specific experience in treating gummy smiles. Lots of practitioners will use Botox for general lines and wrinkles, but won't be well-versed in injecting this area.
We highly recommend that you only undergo treatment with a medically-qualified professional, who will have undergone training in anatomy and physiology, as well as be accountable to a regulatory body such as the General Medical Council (GMC), Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC), or General Dental Council (GDC).
They should also be able to advise you of the risks of injectable treatment and be confident in handling complications if they arise. Any issues should be discussed at your review appointment and further adjustments can be made to achieve your desired results if necessary.
As always, if you have any questions you can use our Botox Q&A where you can ask for more advice direct from a trusted, experienced medical practitioner.
