Gummy Smile Correction Simulator
See how much gum shows when you smile rendered on your own face. One photo, one render — before you sit in a consultation room deciding from a verbal description.
What a gummy smile correction actually does
A group of approaches to reducing how much upper gum shows when smiling: botulinum toxin to relax the muscles that raise the upper lip, filler to weigh the lip down, or surgical lip repositioning for larger corrections.
Which measurement points to a gummy smile correction
This is a dynamic trait — it shows in a smile, not at rest — so no measurement on this site reads it. That is worth saying plainly rather than pointing you at a number that does not apply.
How long a gummy smile correction lasts, and what it costs
How long it lasts
Botulinum toxin lasts three to four months. Surgical lip repositioning is long-lasting but can relapse.
Typical cost
Toxin roughly $200–$600 per session; surgical repositioning roughly $3,000–$6,000.
These are ranges commonly quoted in the United States, collected for orientation. They are not a quote and not a recommendation — price varies with surgeon, city, technique and what else is done at the same time, and the cheapest option in a medical procedure is rarely the relevant number.
What people get wrong about a gummy smile correction
That it is one procedure. Gum show has several independent causes — a short or mobile upper lip, vertical growth of the upper jaw, and the gum line on the teeth — and each is treated differently. Choosing the treatment before identifying the cause is the usual error.
How to read gummy smile correction before and after photos
The photographs must be smiling, and smiling the same amount. A gum-show comparison between a broad grin and a polite smile shows nothing about the treatment.
Gummy Smile Correction recovery — what is typically reported
Toxin has no downtime and takes effect over days. Surgical lip repositioning involves swelling and a soft diet for one to two weeks.
Recovery varies with technique, extent and the individual. This is a summary of what is commonly reported, not what will happen to you, and your surgeon's figures are the ones that apply.
Three questions to ask before a gummy smile correction
A render is most useful as something to take into a consultation. These are the questions specific to this procedure that are worth asking while you are there.
- 1What is causing my gummy smile — lip, jaw, or gum line?
- 2If it is toxin, what dose and where, and what happens if it affects my smile?
- 3Would a dental approach such as crown lengthening apply instead?
What this gummy smile correction simulation cannot show
The render works on a resting photograph. A gummy smile only exists in a smile, so this is one of the procedures where the simulation is least informative — take a smiling photo to a consultation instead.
Alternatives to a gummy smile correction
How the gummy smile correction simulation works
Your photo is analysed for the landmarks that matter to this procedure, and the render changes how much gum shows when you smile while leaving the rest of your face alone. That constraint is the hard part — a generic image model will happily redraw your whole face and hand you a stranger who looks better.
What a simulation is, and what it is not
It is an illustration of a plausible direction. It is not a prediction of your result, not a medical opinion, and not a substitute for a consultation. Your anatomy, your surgeon's technique and how you heal decide the actual outcome, and none of those are visible in a photograph.
What it is genuinely good for: finding out whether you even want the change. A large share of people who render one discover the difference is smaller than they had been imagining, and stop there. That is a useful outcome.
Start from a measurement, not a guess
The free analysis tools measure symmetry, facial proportion and face shape, and tell you which measurements sit outside the reference range. Choosing a procedure from that is a much better starting point than choosing one from a photo you saved.
Gummy Smile Correction simulator — frequently asked questions
What causes a gummy smile?
Several things independently: a short or highly mobile upper lip, excess vertical growth of the upper jaw, or the position of the gum line on the teeth. They are treated differently, which is why assessment matters more here than usual.
Is botox for a gummy smile permanent?
No, three to four months like botulinum toxin anywhere. Dosing is small and placement is precise; over-treatment affects the smile itself.
Can a dentist fix it instead?
Sometimes, yes — where the gum line rather than the lip is the cause, crown lengthening is a dental procedure that addresses it.
Is the gummy smile correction simulator free?
The face analysis is free and needs no account. A rendered simulation costs credits because it runs on a GPU — $4.99 buys five and does not require a subscription.
How accurate is an AI gummy smile correction simulation?
It is an illustration of a plausible outcome, not a prediction of your result. Real outcomes depend on your anatomy, the surgeon and healing. Treat it as a conversation starter for a consultation, not a promise.
Do you keep my photo?
The free measurements never leave your browser. A simulation does send the photo to a rendering service, which is why it asks for explicit consent first, and you can delete the result from your dashboard at any time.
Can I show this to a surgeon?
Yes, and that is the most useful thing to do with it. Bringing a picture of the direction you want is far more precise than describing it in words.

This page is not medical advice and we are not clinicians. A simulation cannot tell you whether a procedure is appropriate for you, what it costs, or what the risks are. Those questions belong with a qualified surgeon.
