yes another informational text, this surely will get me contributer right?
A gummy smile is seen when having more than 3-4MM of gingival display (amount of gum tissue visible above the top teeth) ideal is between 0-2MM.



Causes:

  1. Overgrown Maxilla​
  2. Short upper lip length​
  3. Hyperactive lip muscles​
4.Altered passive eruption





1.Overgrown Maxilla:

The upper jaw has excessive growth, the downward growth increases the vertical height of the mid-face, exposing more of the gums.











2.Short upper lip length:

Having a small upper lip will expose your gums more, giving that gummy smile.



Men: average = 20-22MM

Short = <18

Female: average = 22-24MM

Short = <20





3.Hyperactive lip muscles:

(Strong lip muscles)


This happens when the muscles that lift the upper lip contract more than normal when smiling, lifting the upper lip exposing the gums.









4.altered passive eruption:

This is a very good short demonstration
