Gummy Smile Correction in Thailand

Show More Teeth, Not Gums — Get Gummy Smile Correction in Thailand

If you feel your smile shows too much gum and not enough teeth, you’re not alone—and there’s a solution. Gummy smile correction is a quick, effective cosmetic treatment that helps balance your smile. In Thailand, you’ll find expert care, modern technology, and affordable pricing to help you smile with confidence again.

What Is a Gummy Smile?

A gummy smile, or excessive gingival display, is when an unusual amount of gum tissue shows when you smile. While not a medical issue, it can affect how you feel about your appearance.

Gummy smiles can be caused by:

  • Overactive upper lip muscles

  • Excess gum tissue (gingival overgrowth)

  • Short or worn-down teeth

  • High lip line or abnormal jaw growth

Correction involves rebalancing the proportions of teeth and gums—either by reducing excess gum tissue, adjusting lip movement, or modifying the underlying bone structure in more complex cases.
