3D-Printed shell offers new hope for gummy smile correction

NCT ID NCT06017791

Summary

This small study tested a new dental procedure to reduce excessive gum display, often called a 'gummy smile.' Ten adult patients received a custom 3D-printed plastic shell placed under their upper lip to provide better support. The goal was to see if this approach could effectively reduce how much gum shows when a person smiles.
