incomplete passive eruption, maxillary protrusion, hyperactive muscle of lips, short lip, gingival enlargement, etc. The form of the lips and the position of lips during speech and smiling can be changed by the dentist, who can modify/control the form of the teeth, interdental papilla, and position of the gingival margin and incisal edges of the teeth. Esthetic dentistry should follow the concept and treatment protocol which can provide a simple, comprehensive, patient friendly and minimally invasive treatment approach with the emphasis on psychology, health, function, and esthetics of the patient. An interdisciplinary approach is needed for management of gummy smiles to achieve stable results.
