No More “Gummy” Smiles
Do you have an uneven gum line? Do your gums cover too much tooth and make you unhappy with your smile? Did you know gummy smiles usually occur because of mouth breathing and continue to become more “gummy” over time? Here at Arlington Smile Center, we can help you naturally achieve less of a gummy smile using appliances from Myobrace® and HealthyStart®. We also offer gum contouring, also known as tissue sculpting, that can give your gums a more even, pleasing shape with our new LightScalpel®, a state-of-the-art CO2 laser.
Did you know something as easy as releasing a lip-tie can reduce your gummy smile? Once your lip-tie is released, along with myofunctional therapy, your lip will naturally lower and not be held up by the lip-tie.
