Gummy smile is a condition when there is excessive display of your gums when smiling.
Can you guess the name of a famous celebrity who has a gummy smile 
There are various causes for this :
Genetically Short teeth or Partially erupted teeth 
Mouth breathing
Gum hypertrophy
Usage of Medications like Phenytoin 
.
Hence, the treatment depends on the cause. For some people this may an aesthetic concern but some may be happy with it. Gummy smile correction can be done by crown lengthening, lip shortening, orthodontic treatment and elimination of the medication causing it.

Gummy smiles are definitely more common than we think, and many people aren’t even aware it can be corrected if it bothers them. The key is to identify the exact cause—whether it’s related to teeth, gums, or even muscle activity. I find it interesting how a simple procedure like crown lengthening can make such a big difference in confidence for some patients. That said, it’s also completely okay if someone embraces their natural smile—it’s all about personal choice!

In some cases, orthodontic treatment (braces) itself induces gum overgrowth. So by the end of the treatment, the orthodontists suggest gum contouring.
