hi there could the last gummy smile be effected by scaring on the top lip? I got attacket by a dog when I was little and my smile is gummy and there is vertical scar in the middle of my top lip. I was thinking botox to reduce the amout of gum, but i'm not sure what i can do to improve the look of the scar and overall thinnes on my top lip. thanks for the information in your videos ! very professional.

Got it! That can come from a number of things. There are options to improve your "smile display" if you're interested. Bring up your concern to an orthodontist and see if they can help. Good luck!
If tads can move the teeth up into the gum, and then elastics are added in order to keep the mandible from hanging low & preventing the eruption of lower teeth… then does the mandible change angles by the end of treatment/will this correct the vertical height of a patients face? Thanks!
Great question. You are describing "autorotation of the mandible." There are some practitioners who believe this is possible using TADs on the maxilla and mandible. It's tough to say whether that will bring about a noticeable change to facial appearance. For patients with long-face anterior open bite and gummy smile, usually jaw surgery will lead to the ideal esthetic outcome.
Control the smile, look in the mirror, don t smile with the mouth so open, with exercise You get used to, think that If You smile with your mouth not so opened You Don t get eye wrinkles that much, smile like a model, not like You re laughing at a joke, IT does work.
Thanks for the question! We'd suggest going back to see your orthodontist and let them diagnose the reasoning behind the gummy smile. Then they can walk through some options with you!
If the upper teeth are moved up, and the lower teeth are held up with elastics (or something) during the treatment (to stop the bottom teeth from erupting further in order to meet the top) then wouldn’t the mandible swing up to meet the top teeth in their new position by the end of treatment?
This is what im scared of because my gums look weird but thankfully lt dont show when i smile
Hey John! I love the video! I’m having to present on gummy smiles with TADS and ran into this. Best luck to you!
Hey Cat! Great to hear from you. Glad you found the video. Hope you are well!
Can the last case be treated by braces instead of Botox ?? As a person already has braces?
Whenever I can see someone’s gums, I get very uncomfortable I don’t know why
I hate my gum smile so much 🥺 I am currently having braces on hope they can’t correct it
Will be posting my journey on my channel 😍
Thanks for the comment!
Helllo!can i ask how much is the cost of the procedure?
Is there something I do not understand? Patient number two looks like she is smiling.
Mean my lip go upward I don't for what reason
Can it have 2 reasons? My teeth r small but also my gum shows all
How long does it take to move the teeth 1cm up using braces

Dr, the second patient smile is my case, does that mean I need to undergo a jaw surgery?
Thanks for the question! It depends on a number of factors. The best thing to do is see an orthodontist for a comprehensive eval!
I’m sad 😞 I hate my smile
Aww man! Well orthodontics can certainly help improve it!

As in, will the mandible swing up to meet the top teeth in their new position??

So what’s your suggestion for the VME case?
Consultation for orthognathic surgery.
I have upper lip placed higher so when I smile my gums are visible so whats the solution for this?

Hi, I got braces half a year ago because I had a overbite, and now after I got braces I can see that I have gotten a gummy smile. What can I do now?

Hey.. I'm having the same issue.. do you still have a gummy smile??
@@sarikasapra214 yes
@@sarikasapra214 have you talked with your orthodontist?
Yes he told me it is because of poor dental hygiene and that i should rinse my mouth with warm salt water daily
Wow no dislike
But how do you actually move a lowered jaw up?
Jaw surgery :)
TADs are an option too?
If the upper teeth are moved up, and the lower teeth are held up with elastics (or something) during the treatment (to stop the bottom teeth from erupting further in order to meet the top) then wouldn’t the mandible swing up to meet the top teeth in their new position by the end of treatment?
Gluck Orthodontics this I understand. But I was trying to figure out how it’s done.
One of my pet peeves is gummy smiles🤢😱😱
Stupid idea
