Abstract

Imaginary line that follows the lower superior lip is known as the grin level, and it appears to be convex. Gummy smile is caused by gingival band exposures that are 3 mm or greater throughout normal speech or smiles. Multifactorial etiology can be demonstrated by extrusion of the anterior teeth, excessive labial contraction, shorter upper lip, gingival excess, and excessive vertical maxillary growth up. In addition to being useful for orthognathic, plastic, and periodontal surgery, orthodontic therapy is also frequently interdisciplinary. Many techniques can be used to treat the issue of excessive gingival show. These operations involve both non-surgical and surgical techniques. The technique to be chosen may vary depending on the underlying reason of the gummy smile.
