Gummy Smile treatment in Piedras Negras

A gummy smile is one in which, when smiling, a wider-than-usual portion of gum shows above the upper teeth. It is an aesthetic characteristic that many people wish to have evaluated.

Possible factors: it may be related to the shape of the lip, the position of the teeth, the size of the gums, or the way in which the teeth erupted.

Which specialist treats it? The dentist performs the initial evaluation and, depending on the case, the periodontist, the orthodontist, or the maxillofacial surgeon may be involved to analyze the structures of the smile. If the amount of visible gum when smiling bothers you, a dental consultation allows you to learn about the options available for your case.
