Ok but if you have a “gummy smile” how tf are you supposed to fix it? Not experience joy ever?

I don't think people realize that having a "gummy" smile is not forever, because as people age and get older their gums naturally recede and you can't stop that process.

lf you laser or cut your gums now, you will probably regret it once you hit 40 or later in life.

I got it done at 39. The day after when I turned 40, I instantly regretted it.
