Braces can fix a gummy smile. Using braces is an orthodontic treatment which, over time, moves your teeth and jaws into their healthiest position. Over the course of several months, or years, braces make it possible to reduce the amount of gumline that shows when you smile.
U would have to have a clinical exam with an orthodontist to make that decision thanks
Yes, they can, but it depends on the situation. Quite often, other treatment is more effective like gum surgery or jaw surgery. Some patients are using Botox etc.
Braces can help fix a gummy smile sometimes. Braces along with orthognathic surgery are sometimes required.
Sometimes they can improve the situation.
No. Consult with an oral surgeon to assess your options.
