To show gums while smiling is a feature of a smile and does not by itself imply a disease. If a person wants to change that ratio, first we have to look at where they come from. Not all gingival smiles have the same explanation and do not require the same approach.
Teeth, gums, lips and structure
The quantity of visible gums can be related with several components. The position of the gingival margin, dental ratio, movement of the lip and other anatomical factors are involved. To choose a technique only from a photo can ignore that combination.
The clinical valuation allows us to differentiate what part and what possibilities are to be changed. It's useful to explain how you care about smiling and what situations you notice, without assuming that a feature should be tiptitily corrected.
Periodontal health before design
If the gums are inflamed, it's important to study and manage that situation. To plan aesthetic changes about tissues that aren't stable can make an assessment difficult. Hygiene and state of support are part of the starting point.
Coordination with Orthodontics or Reparations is sometimes appreciated. The order of the phases can influence the result and so we have to understand the complete plan.
What to ask about an intervention
If a periodontal procedure was proposed, she requested them to explain what tissues would be modified, what boundaries existed and how recovery would be organized. Not every tooth and area have the same conditions.
Simulations can help discuss proportions, but they should not be presented as an exact guarantee. The response of tissues and personal characteristics are an integral part of evolution.
