As is known to all, gummy smile will take a great toll on appearance. That’s why many people suffering from it are afraid of laughing out loud and confidently. 

    According to dentists from AKJ Dental Hospital, gummy smile can result from abnormality of teeth, jaw bone or upper lip. Generally speaking, a customized treatment cannot be devised and confirmed until a thorough examination is done to find out the underlying cause. It has to be noted that the price to correct gummy smile varies depending on the severity of personal cases. 

    If it’s caused by teeth problem, for instance, then orthodontic service can be sought to realign teeth and thus improve the condition. There are various kinds of braces available, including metal and invisible ones. Braces of different materials will cost differently, for sure. In general, it will cost more than twenty thousand yuan, but mostly payment by installments can be arranged. Thus it won’t drop a large financial burden on you. 

    While in skeletal cases, a surgery may be required to adjust the position of jaw bone, in order to improve the gummy smile. Doubtless it’s much more difficult and accordingly costs more to correct skeletal gummy smile than a dental one. 

    So, for those with gummy smile the first thing they should to is to seek a thorough examination and diagnosis from a dental professional. If orthodontics alone is able to fix their problem, then seek the service in time. If not, they may have to seek both braces and orthognathic surgery. The earlier the treatment is conducted, the better result it may yield. As for teenagers, functional appliances can be worn to change growth of jaw bone and to a certain extent improve the gummy smile.
