What is a "Gummy Smile"?
A smile is considered "gummy" when it displays an excessive amount of gum tissue, typically measuring 3 mm or more. This aesthetic concern is more common among women, particularly those in their 20s and 30s. While genetic factors are often thought to play a role in the development of a gummy smile, several other factors may also contribute, including:
- Abnormal tooth eruption
- Improper bite
- Muscle-related problems
- Overactive upper lip
