Many people who grind have been told at some point that they are the problem. That the stress is theirs to manage, that they broke a filling because of something they do unconsciously at three in the morning, that cosmetic treatment might be wasted on them. So when they finally look at their worn, shortened front teeth and consider doing something about it, the question arrives already braced for rejection.

For many, the challenge isn't just the shape or color of their teeth, but the display of excessive gum tissue, a condition commonly known as a Gummy Smile. If you’ve ever felt self-conscious about your smile showing too much gum, you are not alone.
