How to fix an uneven gummy smile? (photo)

Question

I have completed Invisalign treatment and while it helped some, it didn’t give me the full outcome I wanted. I am wondering what can be done to help even out my smile. Possibly Botox on that one side?

Jonathan Kulbersh, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question and photo. Botox is an excellent option for treating a gummy smile. This treatment option reduces muscle activity to minimize the associated aesthetic concern. Botox injections are generally administered every 3-4 months to maintain the desired results.

I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with an experienced expert injector. They will be able to assess your concern and determine the best treatment option to help you achieve your aesthetic goals.

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

Botox can help with a gummy smile.  The treatment is done in the office with final results seen after 14 days.  I encourage you to begin by visiting with an experienced injector to discuss your concerns and goals.

Hi, thank you for your question! Gummy smile would be a great start to help even out your smile. I would start with a small dose of 6 units, this is used below the nose to help relax the muscle above the upper lip. I would place more botox on the left side to help with your natural asymmetry.

Vibha Gambhir, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question. I do believe gummy smile botox would be a great option for you. It would only require a few units injected below the nose to inhibit movement when you smile. Good luck on your journey

You are correct. I would start with just one unit of Botox into your left LLSAN muscle. Very inexpensive.
