Can the gum smile be corrected?

1. Orthodontic treatment Orthodontic treatment may be an effective way. If open gums smile is caused by malalignment of teeth, protrusion and other problems, orthodontic treatment, adjustment of tooth position and occlusion relationship, can improve the situation of open gums smile to a certain extent. Orthodontics can gradually move the teeth to the right position using tools such as braces, thus improving the relative relationship between the lips and teeth and reducing the exposure of gums. 2. Orthodontic surgery Orthodontic surgery is necessary for severe bone deformities. In some cases, orthodontics alone cannot completely solve the problem, especially when there are bone factors such as maxillary overdevelopment. orthognathic surgery can achieve a more ideal facial shape and occlusion relationship by moving the position of the maxilla or mandible, thereby improving the gum-exposed smile. However, this kind of surgery is more complex and requires strict evaluation and professional surgical team operation. 3. Muscle function training Muscle function training can also play a supporting role. Enhancing lip muscle control through specific muscle training methods helps to better control lip lift and reduce gum exposure when smiling. This requires systematic training under the guidance of a professional doctor or therapist.
