Gummy Smile is the term used to describe the phenomenon of excessive exposure of the upper gums during a smile. This disproportion between the upper lip and the teeth can be temporarily corrected by injecting botox into the upper lip. In some cases it is advisable to apply a filler (hyaluronic acid) to the lips, for an even more beautiful and complete result.
