How to Fix a Gummy Smile?

This patient came to us halfway through her Invisalign treatment. Her teeth were moving into the right position, but she still felt like she was showing too much gum when she smiled, especially on the lower teeth. Even with straight teeth, the gummy smile was the first thing she noticed.

To address her main concern, we performed an Anatomical (Aesthetic) Crown Lengthening. This procedure reduces excess gum tissue and reshapes the underlying bone to reveal more of the natural tooth structure. We completed this on both the upper and lower teeth to create a balanced, confident smile.

✨The result: Her teeth look longer, her smile looks more even, and the “gummy smile” is no longer the first thing you notice. She now feels confident showing her smile, and Invisalign can continue with the proper foundation.✨

If you’ve ever felt like your smile shows “too much gum,” schedule a consultation. We can walk you through your options and see if aesthetic crown lengthening would be a good fit for you.
