Excessive gingival display is an aesthetic concern that may be addressed with a variety of methods. Lip repositioning is a treatment option for people who are concerned about their appearance. Excessive gingival display, commonly known as gummy smile, is characterised by a gingival display of more over 3mm when smiling.

Our goal was to present lip repositioning as a viable treatment technique for reducing gingival display and asymmetry with a simple and conservative surgical procedure, strong long-term durability, and little recurrence.
