People, who have a gummy smile, usually
adapt by not smiling too widely, or covering their mouth, or tipping their
heads downwards, especially when they are asked to smile for a photo. Such
behavior modification is instinctive. However, there are treatments that reduce
or even eliminate gummy smiles completely. A gummy smile can be improved with
double jaw surgery! You don’t need to cover your mouth while you’re smiling anymore.
Orthodontic treatment may reduce the
amount of protrusion of the teeth but it cannot change the position of the
jawbones. The best solution in such cases is to have jaw surgery to reposition
the upper jaw upwards and backward, akin to tucking it under the upper lip,
which remains unchanged. The operation will be a double jaw surgery as the
lower jaw will also need surgery to match the new position of the upper jaw.
For this condition, we can usually adopt a
surgery first approach. Postoperatively, orthodontics is required to finetune
the position and alignment of the teeth. This will typically take about 1.5 to
2 years.
