Hello... You have to undergo check up first to decide for the cause of gummy smile. Although to some extent it can treated with Orthodontic treatment ( braces) but there are a few cases which require surgery as well. As u are saying, it’s not very severe, it might correct through braces.
Next Steps
Undergo checkup with an Orthodontist.

It can be treated with braces if u visit a MDS orthodontist who are trained to handle it properly. Remember that your orthodontist is IOS endorsed.

Consult a good periodontist. It may require combined orthodontic treatment along with gum treatment for good aesthetic results
