The shape of an aesthetic or attractive smile can be determined according to several criteria, namely:
- The shape and size of your lips.
- Your facial muscles.
- The shape and size of your teeth.
- Your gum tissue.
The optimal smile line appearance should reveal as little gum tissue as possible that is in harmony with the upper lip.
Types and Causes
Type I "gingival laugh due to the gums":
The nature of the teeth is that they consist of a "crown" and "walls", and the crown is covered with a glass-like substance called "enamel". Sometimes the gums grow on the surface of the "enamel", and cover a large part of the crown, giving the impression that the tooth is covered, and it results in "laughing." Gums. "
The way to treat gingival laughter for this condition is by "vaporizing" the gums through laser or cauterization.
Type II "gingival laugh due to muscle":
It is due to "hyperactivity of the upper lip muscle", where it is short as a result of pulling the muscle upwards more than necessary,
To treat this type, the muscle is weakened by injecting "Botox" every 6 months.
Type III "gingival laugh due to protrusion of the upper jaw":
It is the most difficult through the protrusion of the upper jaw, and in this case we ask the patient for a CT scan, and the jaw is reshaped, and then the lip begins to descend on the jaw and cover the teeth.
