Esthetics and muscle well-being
Botox, well known for its cosmetic uses, is also an effective medical treatment in dentistry. Used in a safe, professional setting, it treats certain muscle disorders of the face and jaw, in addition to improving the appearance of the smile.
How does Botox work?
Botulinum toxin works by temporarily blocking the contraction of targeted muscles. This makes it possible to:
- soften expression lines
- reduce muscle tension
- reduce the associated pain
- give the face a more relaxed, younger look
The effects appear gradually over 3 to 10 days and generally last 3 to 6 months.
Cosmetic and therapeutic uses
Botox isn’t just for esthetics. In dentistry, it is a valuable tool for treating several functional conditions.
Cosmetic uses
- Forehead lines and frown lines (glabella)
- Gummy smile
- Drooping eyebrows
- Softening facial features
Therapeutic uses
- Bruxism (teeth grinding)
- Involuntary clenching
- Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders
- Enlarged masseter and temporal muscles
These treatments help improve comfort, function and quality of life.
