I have a very "gummy smile." What you would recommend for correcting this?

There are several treatment options for a gummy smile. Traditional orthognathic surgery with impaction of the maxilla requires braces, hospitalization and a longer recovery.  Another less invasive surgery is vestibular mucosal reduction surgery with a laser or radiofrequency microneedle. This can be accomplished in the office with local anesthesia and the recovery is about a week. Lastly, a temporary improvement can be accomplished using Botox to weaken the muscles that create the smile. Dental crown lengthening is not recommended.
