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.

Treatment Options in Thailand

Thailand offers several approaches to correct gummy smiles, tailored to your individual case:

  1. Laser Gum Contouring

    • Minimally invasive

    • Removes excess gum tissue

    • Quick healing with little to no downtime

    • Often combined with veneers or whitening

  2. Botox for Lip Control

    • Relaxes upper lip muscles to reduce upward pull

    • Ideal for mild to moderate gummy smiles

    • Results last 3–6 months

  3. Crown Lengthening

    • Surgical reshaping of gum and bone to expose more tooth structure

    • Used when teeth appear too short or are covered by gum

  4. Orthognathic Surgery (Advanced cases)

    • Jaw surgery for skeletal-related gummy smiles

    • Rarely needed unless due to jaw misalignment
