Frequently
Asked
Questions
Q) What is a gummy smile?
A gummy smile occurs when an excessive amount of gum tissue is visible when smiling or laughing. This is often due to overactivity in the lip elevator muscles, including the levator labii superioris, levator labii superioris alaeque nasi, and zygomaticus minor.
Several factors can contribute to a gummy smile, such as muscle hyperactivity, gum overgrowth, or irregular teeth size or shape. Corrective treatments focus on addressing these underlying causes to balance the smile and reduce gum visibility.
Q) Can a gummy smile be corrected with a teeth-straightening treatment like Invisalign?
Teeth straightening treatments, such as braces or Invisalign, are not designed to correct gummy smiles as they do not address muscle overactivity, which is a common cause of excessive gum visibility. While orthodontic devices can help align teeth, they may occasionally cause gum irritation in some individuals, potentially leading to gum thickening. However, this is not the case for all patients, and results can vary. It’s important to consult with a qualified practitioner to determine the appropriate treatment for a gummy smile.
Q) How long will my gummy smile treatments results last?
The results of gummy smile injections typically last for 3-4 months, though some individuals may experience longer-lasting effects. It’s important to note that results can vary from person to person. As the effects begin to wear off, you can return for follow-up treatments to maintain the desired appearance. Consult your healthcare provider to determine the best schedule for maintaining your results.
Q) Are gummy smile injections painful?
A gummy smile procedure generally involves minimal discomfort. While numbing cream is not always necessary, it can be offered to enhance comfort during the treatment. Your doctor will take all necessary precautions to ensure a smooth experience. If you have any concerns or feel anxious about the injections, our team is happy to provide additional details and reassurance to help you feel relaxed and confident throughout the process.
Q) Are there any side effects of gummy smile injections?
Muscle relaxant injections are a safe and well-established option for reducing the appearance of a gummy smile. Side effects are rare, but when they do occur, they are usually minor and temporary.
Some patients may experience slight bruising at the injection site, which can be easily concealed with makeup and should subside within a few days. In some cases, mild asymmetry may be noticeable immediately after treatment, but this generally resolves within about three weeks. In very rare cases, overtreatment may occur.
Q) How do gummy smile injections work?
To address the overactivity of the lip elevator muscles contributing to a gummy smile, cosmetic doctors may use targeted muscle relaxant injections to relax specific muscles. In many cases, injections are placed into the Levator Labii Superioris Alaeque Nasalis (LLSAN) muscles, located near the nose. By reducing the activity of these muscles, the upper lip covers more gum, reducing the gummy smile appearance. Results and suitability should be discussed during consultation.
Q) When will I see the results of my gummy smile treatment?
You will typically notice a reduction in the gummy appearance of your smile within 3-4 days after your gummy smile treatment. However, individual results may vary, and full effects are usually visible within a week. It’s important to discuss expectations with your practitioner during your consultation.
Q) How much does a gummy smile treatment cost in Sydney?
Our personalised approach ensures that every treatment plan is tailored to your unique needs, skin concerns, and desired results. As a result, treatment costs will vary between patients. During your initial consultation, a trained doctor will assess your skin, discuss your goals, and create a customised plan. This includes a detailed breakdown of costs, timeframes, and what to expect from the treatment, ensuring transparency and clarity. We are dedicated to providing personalised care that delivers the best outcomes for each individual.
