What is a "Gummy Smile"?
A smile is classified as "gummy" when it reveals an excessive amount of gum tissue, measuring 3 mm or greater. This aesthetic issue is more prevalent among women, particularly those in their 20s and 30s. Typically, a gummy smile is believed to be influenced by genetic factors, although other elements may also contribute. These factors encompass:
- Abnormal tooth eruption
- Improper bite
- Muscle-related problems
- Overactive upper lip
