With the opening of the lips during laughing, the front part of the mouth becomes visible. The relationship of the upper and lower lips and the position of the anterior teeth in this relationship are important in the formation of a natural and aesthetic laugh. In the normal position without laughing, the upper lip covers 2/3 of the upper jaw anterior incisors. Anterior incisors are visible 2-4 mm outside the upper lips. Especially in women, the long front incisors cause the front upper teeth to be more prominent when laughing. During laughing, the upper incisors become fully visible, even the upper gingiva-gums are visible 1-2 mm. In some cases, the increased amount of gums look normal and even gives the person a younger appearance. However, if you are unhappy with your smile, reliable and professional Kusadasi dentists can perform your treatment.

As the name suggests, gummy smile is the place on the gum line. In other words, the gum tissue appears much more than it should be during laughing.
