Gummy smile, also known as a gummy smile, is a commonly used term
a condition in which excessive exposure of the gums occurs when smiling. Inappropriate attitude
between the visible red (gums) and the white area (teeth) may result in a lowered
sense of aesthetics and self-confidence.
Dr. Urszula Leończak is excellent at correcting this type of gummy smiles.
This condition can have a variety of causes:
Reasons:
- Tooth eruption disorder where too much gum and bone covers up
teeth. - Excessive tension of the upper lip muscles, which causes them to lift excessively when smiling
and exposure of gums. - Disturbances in the development of the jaw bones.
Korekcja uśmiechu dziąsłowego może wymagać różnych podejść, w zależności od przyczyny. Leczenie ortodontyczne
lub ortognatyczne może być skutecznym rozwiązaniem w przypadku krótkiej szczęki lub nieprawidłowego
ustawienia zębów.
Correcting a gummy smile may require different approaches, depending on the cause. Orthodontic treatment
or orthognathic may be an effective solution for short or abnormal jaws
tooth settings.
Treatment Methods:
If too much bone and gum is covering the teeth, surgery may be the best solution
surgical. This may include:
- Gingivectomy – removal of excess gums using a laser procedure.
- Osteoplasty – removal of excess bones and their shaping, ensuring a lasting effect and
preventing the return of a gummy smile.
The above-mentioned orthodontic and surgical treatment can be supplemented with tooth reconstruction using veneers or prosthetic crowns. Thanks to this, it is possible to achieve a harmonious and natural smile, adapted to individual preferences regarding the shape and color of teeth.
