Abstract
Excessive display of gums on smiling, is not aesthetically appealing. Gummy smile may be due to various reasons ranging from vertical maxillary excess (skeletal) to hyperactive upper lip (soft tissue) Surgical interventions of soft tissues or the hard tissues can be done to correct the gummy smile, but the stability of such interventions are questionable. An alternative treatment strategy with Botox injections is discussed in this paper.
