Abstract:
A gummy smile is considered a disorder which will lead to immoderate gingival display, and most people are esthetically unaccepted. Many etiologies are linked to a gummy smile, including immoderate maxillary development, delayed passive eruption of teeth, over eruption of teeth, and hyperactive muscles of the upper lip. Various management strategies are present for corrections of gummy smiles. The dentist should decide which is better based on the etiology of the condition and the need of the patient.
