What Are the Benefits of Botox & Fillers?
Botox injections and fillers are known for their cosmetic benefits, but how can they improve your oral health? Some treatment possibilities include:
Temporal Mandibular Joint Disorder (TMJ)
With TMJ Disorders, most of the pain is sourced from muscles. The discomfort is due to hyperactivity of the muscles. There are many types of TMJ Disorders, but treatment has always been scarce. For some patients, Botox can be used to relax targeted muscles, and ease the discomfort.
Bruxism & Clenching
Bruxism and clenching are often treated with mouth guards. Now, Botox injections can help reduce the force of the muscle contractions.
High Lip Line “Gummy Smile”
A “Gummy Smile” is when your lip line rises higher, exposing a good portion of your gums. Reducing a “Gummy Smile” is usually done with gingival surgery and/or crown lengthening, which can be costly and requires recovery. Botox injections can be used to strategically relax your lip muscles and lower your smile line. Botox will require multiple treatments, but it is an immediate and less invasive solution.
Transferring Into Dentures & Partials
When you lose your teeth your lips begin to reposition, which can make it difficult to adjust to new dentures. Botox can help relax and retrain your mouth muscles and make the transition into your new dentures easier.
