A smile is a very powerful weapon in social communication. A natural and radiant smile will help us easily form sympathy with the opposite person. However, having an overbite and gummy smile can make people lose their confidence when communicating.

What are overbite and gummy smile treatments?

Overbite is a condition in which the upper jaw bone overgrows, protrudes outward and does not match the lower jaw. Depending on the extent of the upper jaw, the doctor will recommend an appropriate treatment to overcome this condition.

Gummy smile is a condition when smiling, the gums are exposed too much, affecting the overall aesthetic of the face and making people lose confidence and have an unnatural smile over time.

If you suffer from both overbite and gummy smile, you must have a treatment as soon as possible.

The causes of overbite and gummy smile

There are many causes of gummy smile such as short and small teeth compared to the size of the crown, making the gums appear longer than normal, or due to the development of strong and thick gums that cover part of the tooth. It can also be due to subjective causes such as bad habits of pushing teeth or gums for a long time or due to improper braces affecting the gums.

Overbite can be genetics since birth or due to severe trauma or bad habits that cause the jawbone to protrude.

Overbite and gummy smile are two closely related dental conditions that are mainly influenced by the impact of the teeth and jawbone. For those who both have gummy smile and overbite, normal treatment methods will not be effective than surgical method.

Therefore, depending on the cause and condition of each person, the doctor will suggest the most appropriate treatment.
