Birbe Clinic, experts in gingival smile correction with Invisalign in Barcelona

We are concerned about the health of the oral area, but also about aesthetics. For this reason, solving the problem of the gingival smile in our patients is significant, as many come to the clinic with a great aesthetic complex. A gingival smile is a deformity that is characterized by the excessive showing of part of the gums when smiling. 

In other words, we speak of a gingival smile when the proportions of the teeth and gums are not in harmony. The solution to this difficulty can be obtained with orthodontic treatment, with Invisalign and, in cases where the gingival smile is more serious, other treatments such as periodontal surgery or orthognathic surgery are used. 

Gingival smile with Invisalign: causes and treatments

There are many causes of a gingival smile. However, among all the possible causes, we can highlight the following: 

  • an abnormal eruption of the teeth (Altered Passive Eruption or EPA),
  •  small teeth compared to the gums,
  • abnormal skeletal development of the upper jaw, growing vertically in excess,  
  • hyperactivity of the levator lip elevator muscle, causing it to lift more than normal, or
  •  short upper lip

At Birbe Clinic, we bring you good news because, if you want to solve your gingival smile problems, you are in the right place, we are going to help you! Currently, there are several treatments, such as invisible orthodontics, to resolve the problem and, for this reason, our team always works based on a personalized diagnosis with the aim of offering the right treatment for each patient. 

Invisalign gingival smile in Barcelona: before and after

Defining the best treatment to treat a gingival smile is not an easy task. So, how do we do it? By defining the degree of severity of the gingival smile, which can be: mild, when two to four millimeters of gum are visible; moderate, four to six millimeters; and severe, when more than six millimeters of gum are visible when smiling. 

Depending on the diagnosis and the amount of gum showing when smiling, correcting the gingival smile with Invisalign becomes the best option for the patient. In these cases, orthodontics will correct the misaligned teeth, achieving the correct alignment of the teeth and, of course, achieving excellent aesthetic results.

How to correct the gingival smile with Invisalign without surgery?

When a patient comes to the clinic with a gingival smile, it is often possible to improve the appearance of their smile without resorting to surgery. This way of correcting the gingival smile is called “Invisalign'', which moves the teeth in a way that modifies the position of the soft tissues and, therefore, improves the appearance of the teeth and the smile. However, when the patient has a severe gingival smile, a combined treatment between Invisalign and periodontal surgery or orthognathic surgery will be used.In the case of a gingival smile, the most important thing is to carry out a preliminary diagnosis to define the appropriate solution and, therefore, achieve the best results.

What is the process for correcting the gingival smile with Invisalign?

The first step is to come to our clinic to make a diagnosis and find a solution to your gingival smile problem. Once the Birbe Clinic team visits the patient, the first step is to study, diagnose and determine the cause of the issue. Depending on the origin, how much the gum shows, the position of the upper lip and its mobility when smiling, our professionals will assess whether Invisalign treatment is sufficient or whether it is necessary to combine it with other available techniques such as Botox, crown lengthening or maxillary impaction to solve this pathology.
