Q.

i have an unsatisfactory smile due to abnormally revealed gum tissues only at the area of the four incisors, and the apparent length of the teeth is normal , is there any procedure to stop the upper lip while smiling at the right gum line position?? knowing that i am 23 years old and have normal front teeth length, contour and alignment.. but my previously mentioned problem has always had a terrible impact on me since i was a little girl.. it makes me always conscious about the look of my smile during all conversations.. i have never ever revealed my teeth in any photo of mine.

Q.

Hi Dr Hughes,

I wanted some advice on the best procedure for correcting overexposure of gums (i.e. high lip line). I’ve read that this can either be corrected with gum contouring or via lip repositioning (or a procedure that limits the movement of the upper lip). I’m a lot less keen on the latter option but, in my opinion, I think that I have what might be called a moderate gummy smile.. I don’t know, a dentist would know best. I’d be happy to send you a photo to get your initial advice ahead of booking a consultation..

I wanted to know if you could explain a bit more about the different options and which would be best.

Could you also kindly tell me what the price range is for this?

Lastly, I have been living in London for year but am just about to move to Dubai for a couple of months, I will be back in the summer. If you could let me know how long the waiting list is, if there is one, I’d appreciate it.

Thanks very much for all your help in advance.

Best,

Q.

Is it true that Transform are going to be offering there own in-house training for Botox. I have heard that you no longer need to be qualified in the medical profession before taking the course? I am very interested to know more details, and would like to know your advise on how best to train to be able to administer botox. I understand the depth and knowledge required.

Thank you

Q.
I don’t like my smile because I show my gums at the top which makes me feel really conscious when I laugh, what procedure (if any) will prevent my lips moving all the way up when I smile and especially when I laugh?

Q.
Could I recive Botox injections for Bruxism on the NHS? I have suffered with Bruxism for over 30 years. Treatments so far have been, my wisdom teeth removed, mouth guards, and the left joint of my jaw flushed out, none of which eased the tension in my jaw or my aching gums and constant headaches. My Orthodontist then prescribed antidepressants and discharged me.

Q.
I have been having botox for the past 3 years and have today had botox for the first time given by a dentist. He injected below my eyebrow. I have never had botox injected below the eyebrow and am now so worried about getting a droopy eyelid. I obviously will know in the next couple of days but is it normal to inject there? Have you ever heard of a reason to inject below the eyebrow?
