Uneven Gum Line

Description

An uneven gum line—also known as gum asymmetry, irregular gum margins, or an imbalanced gum line—occurs when the height or symmetry of your gums is not consistent, often making teeth appear too short, too long, or visually misaligned. Sometimes referred to as a “gummy smile” or gum recession, these issues can be caused by factors like genetics, gum disease, aggressive brushing, previous dental work, or misaligned teeth. Not only does an uneven gum line affect the appearance of your smile and self-confidence, but it can also increase risks for sensitivity and gum disease. Modern procedures such as gum contouring, gingival sculpting, and laser gum reshaping effectively restore a natural, balanced look and help protect your oral health—making them popular treatment options for visitors seeking affordable and advanced dental care in South Korea.
