Summary

This study looked at a modified lip repositioning surgery for people with a gummy smile (too much gum showing when they smile). The surgery used a special tie on a lip muscle but skipped some common steps like cutting muscle or removing tissue. Researchers reviewed records and photos of 32 patients who had the procedure. The goal was to see if it safely reduced gum display.
