Smile With Confidence After Expert Lip Lowering Surgery

Many people in America suffer from a condition known as gummy smile, where excessive amounts of gum are shown when the sufferer smiles or laughs. The teeth may be incorrectly positioned in the jaw, or the lip may be hypermobile and lifting too high, showing off more gum than is attractive. In order to correct this problem, many patients choose to undergo a type of treatment designed to lower the lip. When you are considering lip lowering surgery, you will need to find out more about this operation before you go ahead.

Traditional Treatments

In the past, there were several treatments designed to correct a gummy smile that caused extreme discomfort. For example, patients may have treated the smile by resection in the jawline, in an attempt to reduce the amount of mobility in the lip and limit the gum line visible when smiling. However, the excessive level of surgery requiring hospitalization and with significant risk of problems in the aftermath may deter many patients. Dentists may also have other treatments such as fitting crowns on the teeth decide to lengthen them and reduce the obvious disparity between the gum line and the teeth themselves. However, this may result in excessively long looking teeth.
