Orthodontic Treatment for Gummy Smile - TAD and Elastics

This treatment is used to correct the gummy smile when the discrepancy is due to the excessive eruption of the upper front teeth.

I have this device and at first I couldn't speak or eat for almost 2 weeks let alone the excruciating pain and constant pressure .Courage.

I just heard about this today from my orthodontist. I have a gummy smile, and tmjd issues, and my bite is off. I'm hoping to get both treatments done. I've always been self-conscious about my teeth. I get stared at.

[Elmachable]

Had my Tad's put in two days ago but not for this reason. Doesn't hurt, just a little discomfort but if it will give results.. it's worth it.

That looks surely painful, thank God Min Yoongi and his cute gummy smile exist because it makes me feel comfortable with mine 🥺

[DentalTrends]

What common risks and complications should I be aware of before undergoing gummy smile correction?

[lilynguyen]

Yes, it is. My mom has it, I do now and both my daughters now have it. I did read it somewhere that it's genetic.

This is the only video on YouTube that does this treatment, other were Botox, lasering gum, jaw cutting surgery😂. I think I'll keep mine

I have gummy smile but my dentist never made this for me

[EllaArmstrong]

If I send you photos can you please help? I've had a disastrous orthodontic experience and need help. I'm willing to pay a consultation fee. Thank you!

How long does it take for only gummy smile ???

[dionengg]

Will the teeth size become smaller after pulling up?

[iamShravi]

How much time to treat 3 mm gummy smile by this tad process.

[suziefavaro]

I wanted this done so badly but my orthodontist didn’t know anything about it. Does anyone know someone in the uk that does this

[DentalTrends]

Can somebody tell me if genetics can be a cause of a gummy smile?🤔

[cornea]

So does it lift the maxillary bone or only teeth

[patrizia]

Can I get this done in the UK somewhere? I have contacted a number of orthodontist but nobody seems to have any experience with TADs for gummy smile and they're all recommending jaw surgery even though my bite is functional and this is only a cosmetic issue for me 😥

[ZLAN]

i have opposite problem,
what is called of my Problem?

[دیسیجاٹ]

Can anyone tell me whats the size of TADs used in this spot???

[mariamgafar]

My doctor said this will cause open bite, is this correct? And why?

[sb]

I put it on, but I have a problem.
Rubber wire enters the gums
Is that normal?
