Excessive Gingival Display
The most common reasons for a gummy smile, known in medical terms as excessive gingival display, are having a short upper lip, a hypermobile lip and wear on front teeth.
The condition seems to be more common in women than men. You might think braces gave you a gummy smile, or have just always had one, no matter how, you don’t like smiling because of it.
When you smile you lip elevates too far above their upper teeth exposing gums and creating an ‘unattractive’ smile. If you would like gummy smile correction, you’re in the right place here at AL Aesthetics.
Here at AL Aesthetics, we are proud to offer our exceptional treatments at all four of our modern clinics situated in the dynamic cities of London, Birmingham, Wolverhampton, and Nottingham. Our team of highly skilled and experienced specialists provide tailored care, prioritising your comfort and confidence from the initial consultation to the final stages of your treatment journey.
Botox for Gummy Smile
Botox Injections
AL Aesthetics knows how to hide the gums using the Botox technique.
Through simply and effectively injecting Botox into both sides of the nostril and nose to mouth fold, it will weaken the muscle causing it to be in a relaxed state.
Botulinum toxin works by temporarily paralyse the elevator muscles, so that they will not raise your upper lip dramatically whenever you smile.
We might need to also inject lip fillers as well as Botox to ensure your smile is symmetrical.

Before & After Results
How it Works
Our Botox for gummy smile treatment works by carefully injecting the solution into specific facial muscles, which interrupts the nerve signalling responsible for muscle contraction.
By carefully and precisely targeting these muscles, our skilled medical professionals temporarily weaken their contractions, reducing the upward pull on the lip and resulting in a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing smile that shows less gum exposure.

Frequently Asked Questions
What’s better, Botox or fillers?
Here at AL Aesthetics, we believe that Botox is the best choice for facial expression areas such as frown lines, forehead lines, and ‘11s’ between the eyebrows. However, we may also use fillers in conjunction depending on the case.
What can I expect?
After cleansing, you’ll receive a number of small injections into your nose, lip and nostils.
Is the gummy smile Botox treatment painful?
You may think it will hurt a tiny bit, but we do administer a topical anaesthetic to minimise discomfort. Also, being a delicate area, do expect a pinching sensation.
How long does Botox for gummy smile last?
To preserve positive results, you need to return regularly after approximately 3 to 6 months.
Do you offer aftercare?
Within two weeks after, we will invite you back for a check-up, just to make sure you’re comfortable, are having no problems and the treatment has worked.As well as this, before gummy smile treatment we ask you to come for an extensive, free consultation so that we can assess your gummy smile and plan the treatment next steps if you would like to go ahead.
