Is it possible to get max impaction without a gummy smile?

[ronald_2]

Everywhere I read about this procedure it says about how they perform it to fix a gummy smile. But what if a person just has an overly long maxilla which leads to having a long philtrum, but show no excessive gingival display.

Bonus question, what's the average philtrum length? Measured from the bottom of the nose to the middle of the lips.

Thank you! Do you mind if I pm you? Seeing we share the same problem, it'll be great to exchange opinions and stuff, as I'm also considering getting this procedure.
