What should I do if my gums are prominent?

There are many reasons for gum protrusion. It may be that the teeth are short and protruding, or the maxillary protrusion and the upper lip are too short, which may cause gingival smile. Treatment varies according to illness. If it is caused by short teeth, it can be corrected by gingivoplasty, and the gum and alveolar bone can be removed to a certain height by surgery. If it is a tooth protrusion, it can be corrected by orthodontics. If it is bony, you can have surgery in adulthood. Gingival smile caused by short upper lip can also be improved by cutting off the quadratus labialis muscle from the mouth.
