Gummy smile patients used to be problematic since the treatment option was mainly aggressive surgery in combination with orthodontics.
My intention is to share the technique since not many have shared this on social media.
The majority of our patients with a gummy smile are very objective in their requests.
In the past correction of the gummy smile has been under-researched and lacking in innovation.
The current dilemma is to treat it or ignore it by those who practise orthodontics. These mechanics work in both traditional braces and aligners.
