When does the gingival smile occur?

The gingival smile It occurs when the person shows an excessive amount of gums on his upper teeth during his smile. At times the cause is skeletal by a vertical overgrowth of the maxylates. In most cases, however, it occurs from an excess of gums and from an alveolar bone under the gums on his teeth, giving his teeth a square appearance rather than his usual shape that's rather rectangular. The gingival smile about 20- 25% of the population and more often in young women, particularly in young women who have been undergoing orthodontics during adolescence.

What's the treatment?

The gingival smile can be corrected by periodontal surgical treatment that should be performed by a periodontist. The first step is to determine the ideal size of each tooth as we have to remember that some of the anatomical crown of the tooth is hidden under an excess of gum, so it's imperative to find where the crown's union to the root of the tooth is, as that line that normally has an arch shape will be the limit where we can place the margin of the gum. A very common error with this surgery is to cross this limit, leaving the root of the tooth exposed or to be cut short and as far as possible to avoid correction. gingival smile. That's why, the periodicist surgeon who treats the gingival smile have a profound knowledge of periodontal anatomy (gums and underlying bone) so as to place the gums at the right point (union of the crown and denture root). The correction surgery of gingival smile It's painless and performed under anesthesia and its results are practically immediate. At OrtoPerio Clinic we are specialists in the treatment of gingival smileapplying a periodontal micropurgia approach with no after-operative sequelae and with optimum aesthetic results for our patients.
