This situation seriously spoils the harmony of the smile. In people who 'smile with their gums' while laughing, a pair of muscles pull on the nasal wing and upper lip. In cases where these muscles are overactive, the upper lip is shortened. If the upper teeth are also short, the gums are more prominent.

Excessively mobile upper lip
• Insufficiently erupted teeth
• More vertical development of the upper jaw than normal

Botox  provides a simple non-surgical solution when it is disturbing that the upper teeth and gums are too visible while smiling, and when it is necessary to close the mouth while smiling  .
