Gummy Smile Treatment in Turkey Before & Afters
What Causes a Gummy Smile?
1. Genetics
Genetics play a significant role in the development of a gummy smile. Some individuals inherit traits that result in excessive gum tissue, making it more likely for their gums to overshadow their teeth when smiling.
2. Gum Overgrowth
Overgrowth of gum tissue, also known as gingival hyperplasia, can occur due to various factors, including hormonal changes, certain medications, or inflammatory conditions.
3. Hyperactive Lip Muscles
Hyperactive upper lip muscles can cause the lip to lift higher than usual when smiling, exposing more gum tissue.
4. Tooth Size and Shape
The size and shape of your teeth and jawbone can affect how much gum tissue is visible when you smile. Teeth that are smaller or shorter in proportion to the gums may appear submerged, which can contribute to a gummy smile.
5. Improper Tooth Eruption
Issues with tooth eruption (when the tooth emerges from the gum and becomes visible in the mouth), such as delayed eruption or improper alignment, can lead to the appearance of a gummy smile. Teeth that do not erupt properly may remain partially submerged under the gums and create an uneven gumline.
6. Bruxism (Teeth Grinding)
Chronic teeth grinding or clenching, known as bruxism, can cause excessive wear on the teeth, making them appear shorter and contributing to the appearance of a gummy smile.
