What is non-surgical gummy smile treatment?
Non-surgical gummy smile treatment using Temporary Anchorage Devices (TADs) is an advanced orthodontic approach designed to address excessive gum display without the need for invasive surgery. Here’s how it works:
1. Assessment and Planning: We'll evaluate your smile and dental structure to determine the best treatment plan. If indicated, TADs are used to provide precise control over tooth movement and positioning to reduce excess gingival display.
2. Placement of TADs: Small temporary anchorage devices (TADs) are strategically placed in the mouth to serve as anchors for applying light forces to specific teeth or groups of teeth. These devices are minimally invasive and are removed at the end of treatment.
3. Tooth Movement: Using the TADs, we can adjust the teeth to achieve the desired position, which reduces the amount of visible gum display when smiling.
4. Monitoring and Adjustments: Throughout treatment, we carefully monitor progress and make adjustments as needed to ensure optimal results. TADs are temporary and are removed once the desired tooth movement is achieved.
5. Final Results: The result is a more balanced smile with less visible gum tissue, enhancing both aesthetics and confidence.
This non-surgical approach is advantageous because it avoids the need for jaw surgery, does not involve a lengthy recovery time, effectively addresses the gummy smile, and ultimately improves the overall smile appearance.
Gum Contouring
For patients with excessive gum tissue, a procedure called gum contouring (or gingivectomy) can be performed. This minimally invasive procedure involves removing the excess gum tissue to expose more of the tooth surface, resulting in a less "gummy" smile.
