Introduction
Gum Correction, Gummy Smile Treatment
Does it bother you that too much of your gums show when you smile? The so-called “gummy smile” can affect many people’s confidence, even though there is a quick, effective and painless solution. B0T0X gum correction helps make your smile more harmonious and natural while preserving your own facial expression. The treatment takes only a few minutes, and the result is visible immediately – so you can smile freely and confidently again.
What is a gummy smile?
A gummy smile is when the upper lip sits high above the gum line when a person smiles. A smile is generally considered aesthetic when only the small pink “triangles” of gum are visible between and above the teeth. Although every genuine and authentic smile can be attractive, we strive to help our patients achieve the smile they desire and find most beautiful. People with a gummy smile may feel that their smile is not aesthetic and may even smile less because of it. A gummy smile, however, can be improved with botulinum toxin treatment.

What is the treatment?
What is gum correction / gummy smile treatment?
Gummy smile treatment (gum correction) is a simple, safe and quick procedure that can correct the excessive gum display visible when smiling. The treatment is performed with a B0T0X injection, which relaxes the muscles that lift the upper lip too high when you smile.
As a result, your smile becomes more harmonious and less gum is visible, while your natural facial expression is preserved. The procedure takes only a few minutes, and the result can be felt immediately, helping you regain your confidence quickly and painlessly.

Who is gummy smile treatment not recommended for?
Although gum correction is a safe and minimally invasive procedure, there are cases when the treatment is not recommended.
A preliminary consultation is always important, where we discuss your health condition and rule out any possible contraindications. This ensures that the treatment is completely safe for you as well.
We do not recommend it if:
- you are pregnant or breastfeeding,
- you have a known allergy to the active ingredient in B0T0X,
- you have a serious neurological or muscle disease,
- there is active inflammation or infection in the area to be treated.
Before the treatment
Before the treatment
No special preparation is needed before gummy smile treatment, but there are a few things worth paying attention to. During the consultation, we discuss your health condition, your expectations regarding your smile, and answer all your questions.
It is important to inform us if you take any medication or have any known allergies. On the day of the treatment, it is recommended to avoid alcohol consumption and intense physical activity. This helps ensure the proper effect of B0T0X and quick recovery.
Our goal is for you to arrive calmly and confidently for the treatment, knowing exactly what to expect.

The process of gum correction / gummy smile treatment
Gummy smile treatment is a quick, safe and virtually painless procedure. The process takes only a few minutes, so it can easily be fitted in even before work or another programme.
Preparation
We disinfect the area to be treated and, if necessary, apply an anaesthetic cream.
B0T0X injection
Using a fine needle, a small amount of B0T0X is injected into the muscles that move the upper lip. This relaxes the muscles, so your lip does not lift as much when you smile and less of your gum is visible.
Final check
Immediately after the treatment, you can see the result and we discuss the aftercare steps.
The entire process takes 10–15 minutes, and you can enjoy your more harmonious, natural-looking smile almost immediately.
After the treatment
After the treatment
After B0T0X gummy smile treatment, no downtime is needed and you can return to your everyday activities immediately. The effect develops gradually and becomes fully visible after a few days.
The result is a natural, harmonious smile. The treatment is highly effective, and the results usually last for around 3 months. In our experience, when the procedure is repeated, the time between necessary treatments often becomes longer over time. This way, you can go through your days smiling freely and with confidence again.
Important during the first 24 hours after the treatment:
- avoid physical exertion and sports,
- do not massage or press the treated area,
- avoid sauna, solarium and intense heat exposure.
