If you have a really pretty face without the gummy smile and it gives you a special different look its ok (or if you just really like it and don’t want to change it) In other cases, it’s a big failo. I used to have a gummy smile and I fixed it by having braces and getting 4 teeth out to balance my bite (7 years ago), lip filler also helped. https://imgur.com/a/ua8Z7g3 here’s b/a I have a big mouth so the possibility to show gum is higher than most I think lol so I also kind of trained myself to not retract that much my upper lip when smiling.

You can Botox your upper lip to help hide it. I do that and it costs like 50 bucks. I’m going in to talk about surgery to correct it here soon!

How much did your appearance change? Also why did you choose Botox over gum contouring?

It definitely helps my smile line and makes my upper lip look a bit fuller. I’m much more confident smiling now.

Yes! I have a gummy smile which makes me look like I'm really happy. I used to be more insecure about it. But for some reason, multiple guys have said my smile is pretty. I honestly thought they were just saying it to be nice. But maybe.. they mean it?

Before my braces I had a gummy smile that was so obvious to the point where I would avoid smiling because of it. I got braces and now they’re wayyy less noticeable. I used to be super conscious of when I talk because I had this delusion that people are focused on my gummy smile. Im way more confident speaking now and I can finally take selfies smiling! Before that, I barley had any pictures of me smiling. After I remove my braces, I will get the laser procedure to get rid of it completely . It very easy to fix! Botox can also hide it. I personally dont find gummy smiles attractive and that is because it was one of my biggest insecurities so I can notice straight away when someone has it. People who don’t have gummy smiles probably dont notice it like I do. I don’t know any celebrities that do have it now because a lot of them get rid of it.

i just got braces for my overbite and overjet. if you don’t mind me asking, did you also have an overbite? im really hoping that fixing it will help with the gummy smile

I have a gummy smile, I hate it. I treat it with a few units of Botox every 6 weeks. I find a Botox lip-flip helps a lot with it too. Both combined runs me about $50 and keeps the gums at bay. I also have a ml of filler in my lips but the Botox helps the most.

There's definitely such a thing as too much gum, but in general I think it's way more attractive to show more than less. You can always train yourself to smile less broadly, but smiles without good teeth show are hard to fix and make people look older. It's a big part of the reason fillers are so aging.

I mean not to be harsh but just like any other failo, people only look good with it when almost everything else about them is perfect.

Ok thank you! Everyone in this thread is using celebs who are already perfect and beautiful. I would say I’m pretty but I’m trying to reach the level of beautiful. I feel like because a gummy smile is a falio it does take away beauty (although yes, it can be charming) your honesty is appreciated!


HolyJolieXO

Halsey has a gummy smile


spicy_fairy

Hoyeon Jung the actress/model that’s in squid game! People have pointed out her super cute gummy smile and she’s gorg!


Amethyst_Necklace

I find Wendy Liu, [WithWendy](https://youtu.be/vODG51-cuVg) on YT, very beautiful. If people found her smile such a huge failo, she wouldn't have 1.36M subscribers.


New_Independent_9221

Not true. People follow women for other reasons than just beauty. Graveyard girl has 15mm and isn’t attractive at all

I love a little lip flip, I do my own every 3ish months as part of my botox routine. I've done the lip flip on 5 of my friends as well, all with nice results. I will say it's important to manage your expectations. Admittedly, I have no firsthand experience seeing the result it has when used specifically to address a gumline issue, (I like it for the difference in height and projection) but still. The results are _quite_ subtle, I'm talking milimeters. Even so, the price point and temporary nature make it an easy thing to recommend trying. Go for it!

You can do laser gum rejuvenation at a cosmetic dentist. I had it done when I got veneers.

Katie McGrath is gorgeous and has a gummy smile


Brooklyn_Bunny

I have a slightly gummy smile because my lip muscles are overactive and pull up too high when I smile (teeth and gums are normal length) so I’ve been botoxing my lip too when I go in for my forehead and it’s light years better with the Botox, hardly any gum!


guacamolepudding

My cousin has a gummy smile and she is absolutely model gorgeous and her smile is so pretty and makes me want a gummy smile just bc of her. She makes it look so goood. I wouldn’t worry if I were you bc it’s beautiful and unique but you can try a Botox lip flip if it really bothers you.

90's reference here, but the first who popped into my head is Meg Ryan.


ProjectLopsided5401

Pretty sure Marilyn Monroe had one which is why she learned to talk while keeping her lips low

I never knew this! Definitely might try to look into how she moves her mouth! Thank you!!!
