I just recently had jaw surgery to correct my overbite. I assumed that this procedure would reduce my gummy smile. But that didn't end up happening. I want to get rid of the gumminess but don't want to go through another surgical procedure and I also don't want to pay too much for this correction.
What are my options at this point? And could veneers be a possible option for me. Should I talk to my Orthodontist surgeon or my orthodontist about it?

Answer: Can You Reduce a Gummy Smile Without Doing a Surgical Procedure? Thank you for your question.First thing which comes to mind, pictures of your smile would be very helpful. Easiest treatment without surgery is Botox injections. Those must be repeated every 3 months though to be successful.Veneers could be an option depending on several factors including a size of your present teeth, and condition of the gums. Your general/cosmetic dentist should determine if veneers is a viable option.
