Gummy Smile
Muscle relaxing injections are a popular option for reducing the appearance of a gummy smile. Some people naturally have a high lip line when they smile. If this is combined with a deeper maxilla (upper jaw bone) the result can be the appearance of a gummy smile. The injection works by reducing movement in the upper lip, preventing it from retracting and exposing a significant amount of gum tissue when you smile. The results are however temporary.
