Solutions for gummy smile can be either orthognathic surgery, or crown lengthening followed by crowns on all upper teeth coming in the smile line. Which one to go for will depend on clinical examination. So you can visit your dentist and explore both the options

Hey ,As a female I can understand your concern how important the smile is, so my suggestion would be You can get crown lengthening done with laser, which is considered most effective these days. And once you achieve results you can decide whether your are happy with your smile or you still want to improve. Accordingly, you can discover other options.
T&c.(always)
Thanks.
