A super subtle treatment of the muscles can be used to reduce a high gum muscle, to lift the top lip excessively, allowing the upper lip to better cover the gum tissue and create a superb smile.
Do you feel like there is an excessive amount of gum showing when you smile? A gummy smile is nothing to be embarrassed about, but if it concerns you it can easily be treated with anti-wrinkle. Gum show can be excessive if your upper lip moves too high when you smile. The levator labii superioris alaeque nasi muscle connects the middle corner of the eye to the upper lip and works to lift the upper lip and enables you to snarl. Small amounts of anti-wrinkle injections can be placed into this muscle to reduce gum show. This treatment is relatively quick and non-invasive.
