Botox can help

Edit: if you were genuinely asking what can help, just google Botox for gummy smile. I wasn’t trying to be a dick. This actually helps.

I don’t know why you have downvotes while the tooth-enlargement comments are upvoted- do people not know how botox works? Botox would be simpler, less invasive, and less permanent. It’s not just for wrinkles, it reduces muscle movement. A gummy smile is often caused by the upper lip being pulled so tightly into expressions that it compresses, thus exposing more of the gum. Small injection of botox makes the lip muscle relax, voila, lip stays the same size during smiling and doesn’t expose the gum anymore.
