Excessive or uneven gums refer to gum tissue that is either overgrown, covering more of the tooth surface than normal, or unevenly distributed, affecting the symmetry and aesthetics of the smile. This condition can be caused by various factors, including genetics, certain medications, hormonal changes, poor oral hygiene, or gum disease. Depending on the severity and underlying cause, treatment options may include gum reshaping or contouring, crown lengthening, orthodontic treatment, or periodontal therapy to address gum disease. Restoring a balanced and harmonious gum line can significantly improve the appearance and overall health of the smile.
