GUMMY SMILE

A gummy smile is a condition where a significant portion of the gums shows when a person smiles. Although it is not considered a medical concern, a gummy smile can negatively affect a person’s self-confidence and cause self-consciousness about their appearance.

A gummy smile occurs due to several reasons, including genetics, overgrowth of the gums, and a small upper lip. It can also happen due to certain medical conditions, such as hyperactive muscles in the upper lip. In some cases, orthodontic treatment may cause a gummy smile, as teeth movement may expose more gum tissue.

A gummy smile can negatively impact the lower face by making the face look imbalanced. It can also make the teeth look small and make a person appear older than their age.

Botulinum toxin injections have emerged as a popular solution for treating gummy smiles. Botulinum toxin is a neuromodulator that can relax the muscles that cause the upper lip to rise too high when smiling, reducing the amount of gum tissue that is visible. The treatment is minimally invasive, safe, and requires no downtime.

Botulinum toxin injection treatment for a gummy smile typically involves injecting the specific muscles of the upper lip, the procedure takes only a few minutes, is virtually painless and results are noticeable within a few days and last for several months, depending on the individual’s metabolism.

In some patients who also have naturally thin lips as well as hyperactive lip muscles, we can also perform subtle lip augmentation with filler to compliment the effects of gummy smile injection and further harmonise an individual smile and overall appearance.

JAW CLENCHING AND SLIMMING

Teeth grinding also known as bruxism, is an issue that affects a lot of us. It often happens during sleep, due to stress or anxiety, and is found more often in people with a sleep disorder such as snoring. During the day, stress and deep concentration can cause us to clench our teeth and jaw instead. Bruxism can be a temporary occurrence for many people, without any real concerns caused. For others, it can lead to jaw pain, headaches and earache. Teeth will also become worn down.

Treatment of TMJ (temporomandibular joint) pain is multi-factorial but accurate placement of Botox in the masseter muscle (one we use for chewing) can help alleviate the symptoms.

Once injected into the masseter muscles, Botox works by temporarily relaxing the muscles, reducing nerve signals from reaching the muscles and reducing tension in the jaw joint.

Botox is also used in this area for masseter reductions. All that clenching and grinding of teeth can make our masseter muscles get bigger which can make our faces look wider.

Botulinum toxin injections are a non-surgical and minimally invasive method to reduce the masseter muscle’s size, resulting in a slimmer and more contoured lower face.

The botulinum toxin works by temporarily blocking the nerve signals that cause the masseter muscle to contract, reducing its activity and size.

The injections are typically administered into the masseter muscle and the treatment usually takes about 10-15 minutes. The full effects of the injections can be seen after 6 weeks and can last up to six months, after which the treatment can be repeated.

Slimming the masseter muscle with botulinum toxin injections can have a significant impact on the overall face shape and attractiveness. A slimmer and more contoured lower face can make the jawline appear more defined, resulting in a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing facial shape.
