How Can Injections Correct a Gummy Smile?
Injections used to treat a gummy smile work by relaxing the overactive muscles around the upper lip. These muscles are responsible for pulling the lip too high, which exposes more gum tissue when you smile. By targeting these specific muscles with a carefully placed injection, their activity is reduced, lowering the lip and minimizing the amount of gum shown.
Key Benefits of Treating a Gummy Smile with Injections:
- Non-invasive
No surgery or incisions are required—just a few quick injections. - Fast results
Visible improvements can be seen within a few days to two weeks. - Effective
The results can last up to 3 months, and follow-up treatments help maintain the effect. - Minimal downtime
You can resume normal activities immediately after the treatment.
