GUMMY SMILE Amsterdam
When you show your gums while talking or laughing, this is known as a 'Gummy Smile'. This is not a learned behavior, but something you are born with. Visible gums can be the result of an overactive muscle in the upper lip. Botulinum toxin can temporarily deactivate this muscle, keeping the lip down when speaking or laughing. The lowered lip covers the gums, making them less visible. The treatment maintains its effect for three to four months. Because this treatment is not suitable for everyone, a consultation is required.
