GUMMY SMILE TREATMENT
GUMMY SMILE TREATMENT IN AUSTIN TX
Your smile speaks volumes before you even say a word, and everyone deserves a smile they're proud to share. However, some individuals may feel self-conscious about showing too much gum, often referred to as a "gummy smile." Thankfully, with advancements in cosmetic treatments, there's a solution tailored just for this.
What is a gummy smile?
A gummy smile is a condition where an excessive amount of gum tissue is visible above the upper teeth when smiling. It can be a result of various factors, including the shape and size of the lips, the size and position of the teeth, as well as the vertical position of the upper jaw in relation to the skull. While many people embrace their unique smiles, others might feel self-conscious about showing too much gum and look for solutions to enhance their appearance.
how does dysport help?
Dysport is a type of injectable neuromodulator, similar to Botox, that can be used to address various cosmetic concerns, including a gummy smile. When Dysport is carefully injected into specific muscles controlling the upper lip's movement, it can temporarily relax these muscles. The result? A more balanced smile where less gum is exposed.
how the treatment works
The treatment involves carefully injecting Dysport into targeted areas of the upper lip muscles. Once administered, Dysport blocks the nerve signals in these muscles, causing them to relax and reducing their hyperactivity. This relaxation means the upper lip doesn't rise as high when smiling, consequently showing less gum and delivering a more balanced smile. The procedure is quick, typically taking less than 30 minutes, and results can be seen within a few days, lasting for several months.
Benefits of Using Dysport for a Gummy Smile:
Non-Surgical Solution: No invasive surgery or lengthy recovery times.
Quick Procedure: Typically takes less than 30 minutes.
Minimal Discomfort: Most patients report only mild discomfort during the injection.
Immediate Results: Changes can be observed shortly after the treatment, with full effects usually noticeable in 3-5 days.
Temporary yet Long-lasting: Results typically last between 3-5 months, allowing adjustments based on preference.
