Birbe Clinic, experts in gingival smile correction
It’s been said that a smile is the mirror of the soul, so not showing your gums and/or teeth is not an option for us. Some people suffer from a gingival smile, a deformity characterized by showing more than 3-4 mm of gum when they smile. In other words, the proportion of teeth and gums shown when smiling is not harmonious.
From Birbe Clinic, we bring you good news, as correcting this problem can have an easy solution through different techniques.
Solution to the gingival smile: treatment
The fact that you ask this question is already a step towards solving your gingival smile, and we are going to help you! There are several causes for this difficulty and also different treatments to correct it. This is why, at Birbe Clinic, we always carry out a personalized diagnosis, with the aim of offering the best treatment and, therefore, the best result by searching for the root cause of the issue.
Our team has a perfect command of the techniques that can change your smile and, for this reason, we are going to tell you about the different treatments we can carry out, depending on the cause.
Correcting a gingival smile using Botox
One of the causes of a gingival smile is a hypermobile upper lip, whose musculature is powerful and causes the lip to rise too much when smiling, revealing more gum than is considered aesthetically appropriate. In these cases, it is advisable, firstly, to measure the length of the lip to determine whether it is short or normal and, once the size has been determined, to weaken the orbicularis oculi muscle to avoid its hyperfunction. How? With the neuromodulatory toxin, commonly known as Botox.
Therefore, the correction of the gingival smile with Botox allows us to achieve the aesthetic satisfaction of the patient with immediate results, without the need for surgery and the result is the harmonization of the smile.

How to correct the gingival smile with hyaluronic acid and its price?
In addition to correction with Botox, another aesthetic technique that we use at Birbe Clinic, for those patients who do not want to undergo surgery or orthodontics, is hyaluronic acid. Through treatment with this active component, what we achieve is to add volume and juiciness to the lip, camouflaging the excess visible gum and, therefore, improving the aesthetics of the smile. In the same way as with Botox, we achieve immediate and natural results.We can correct the gingival smile with other treatments, such as gingivectomy and orthognathic surgery. Gingivectomy is indicated when there is an excess of gum due to passive eruption of the teeth. Orthognathic surgery is performed when the upper jaw is too long.The price of this treatment will depend on each case. Depending on the type of patient, more or less sessions will be needed. The estimate will be made once the diagnosis has been made.
What are the phases of the gingival smile treatment, before and after?
Defining the best technique to treat a gingival smile is not an easy task and, for this reason, at Birbe Clinic, we will evaluate all the parameters to define the most suitable treatment. During the visit, we will carry out a study to consider the different causes and treatment options, making clear the advantages and disadvantages of each one of them.The choice of treatment will depend on whether it is a slight deformity, i.e. a maximum of 4 mm of gum is shown when smiling; or if the deformity is larger, more than 4 mm is shown; or if the gingival smile is only an aesthetic problem; or also a problem for the teeth.The patient will undergo one treatment or another depending on the cause and, of course, on his or her preferences. In addition, the recovery and follow-up will change depending on the technique used.
