Understanding Gummy Smiles
What Causes a Gummy Smile?

- Hyperactive Upper Lip: An upper lip that pulls too high can expose more gum tissue.
- Genetics: Family traits can contribute to the appearance of a gummy smile.
- Improper Dental Eruption: Teeth that do not erupt correctly can lead to gum display issues.
- Gingival Hypertrophy: Enlarged or long gums can result in excessive gum visibility.
