Botox treatment in the jaw and face area
What abnormalities are addressed with Botox injections in dentistry?
Botox, derived from a toxin called botulism, is used in rejuvenation, wrinkle reduction, hand sweating treatment, migraine relief, and more. Nowadays, Botox use is not limited to these areas; it can also be beneficial in dental treatments. Below are the various applications of Botox in dentistry.
TMJ Disorder Treatment
The temporomandibular joint, abbreviated as TMJ, is the area where the jaw muscles play a crucial role in the smooth opening and closing of the jaw. In some cases, individuals experience difficulty when opening and closing their mouths, resulting in a TMJ disorder.
Botulinum toxin type A injection can significantly relax the lateral pterygoid muscle. Botox in dentistry can be very helpful in treating issues such as relieving lockjaw and dislocation in this area, making it easier to open and close the mouth.
Treatment of Unstable Removable Prostheses
Very strong and tense muscles can cause problems in stabilizing a removable prosthesis inside the mouth. In such cases, relaxing the muscles in the gums and surrounding areas and reducing the tension can help solve this issue.
Treatment for Drooping Corners of the Mouth
Some people have difficulty keeping saliva in their mouth due to drooping corners of the lips. The constant drooling at the corners of the mouth can lead to sores in this area. By addressing the issue of drooping lips through Botox injection, the problem of saliva leakage and sores can be naturally resolved.
Gummy Smile Correction
Even if you use dental cosmetic treatments like composites and veneers, if your gums are excessively visible, it can not only lead to dental decay but also affect the overall beauty of your face. Therefore, it is important to address this issue. Botox injections at both sides of the lips create a limitation in the excessive opening of the lips, reducing the visibility of the gums.
Improving an Asymmetrical Smile with Botox Injections in Dentistry
When the depressor muscles in the lower lip fail to function properly, your smile becomes asymmetrical. In this type of smile, one side of the lip rises higher, causing an imbalance. To correct this, Botox can be injected into the more active side of the lip to limit its range of motion, bringing balance back to your smile.
Resolving Bruxism (Teeth Grinding)
If you suffer from bruxism or teeth grinding during sleep and the use of a night guard and other treatments haven’t resolved the issue, Botox injections into the masseter and temporalis muscles on both sides can significantly alleviate this problem.
Orthodontic Relapse Treatment
One reason for unsuccessful orthodontic results in Mashhad is the presence of tense jaw and facial muscles. The chin muscle plays a major role in this relapse, and by injecting Botox, it can be relaxed, improving the results of orthodontic treatment.
