Gum Treatment With Botox | Smile Botox (Gummy Smile)
When smiling, situations where the gums appear more than 2 millimetres are called Gummy Smile.
This appearance is sometimes caused by the gums being too long compared to the length of the teeth, and sometimes it may be caused by overworking the muscles that pull the upper lip up during laughter.

What is Gummy Smile?
Gummy smile is when the gums are more visible than normal when smiling. It usually occurs when the gums are too long compared to the teeth or when the upper lip is lifted too high when smiling. This can cause aesthetic concerns in some people. Smile Botox is a minimally invasive treatment method used to solve this problem.
How to Make Smile Botox?
By injecting botulinum toxin into certain points on the nasolabial line using fine-tipped needles, the visibility of the existing gum level is improved. There are no side effects of botox applied in the gummy smile treatment. Since an anesthetic cream will be applied to the relevant area before the application, no pain is felt. The procedure takes about 5 minutes and you can return to your daily life immediately. The control period for this application is 15 days.
