How Can I Correct My Gummy Smile?

My Question to the Dentist
I am 18 years old and my front teeth are a little forward. I got my braces off 2 years ago after the braces were off I had straight teeth and a beautiful smile. but I didn’t wear a retainer and after 2 years my teeth relapsed completely. The orthodontist gave me a retainer but that retainer hurt too much and my teeth move downward, my palate became narrow and my face also become narrow and asymmetric. Then I stopped wearing the retainer after 2 months and now I have a gummy smile and my teeth look longer. I go to a cheap orthodontist and asked him, but he cut down my front 6 teeth and made them too short. Now I hate my smile. Can you tell me how I can grow my teeth height back and correct the gummy smile please?

Dentist’s Answer
Hi, thank you for your question. A gummy smile is very difficult to correct even with surgery. If the teeth are too short you could consider bonding the incisal edges or place veneers. You’ll need to find an experienced cosmetic dentist for a full assessment. Hope this helps!, Amal.

Pain Management
It is also common for patients to have more than one pain, and so several areas covered may be relevant to an individual. Please note that there is a recurring theme in the treatment of pain that can be divided into the three broad categories:

  • Pharmacological (drugs e.g. paracetamol)
  • Physical (e.g. physiotherapy)
  • Psychological

The most important thing to remember is that each patient’s treatment is individualised as pain is a subjective sensation and what works for one person may not necessarily work for the next even though the diagnosis is the same.
