Therapeutic Uses

TMJ Disorders

Botulinum toxin can relax the jaw muscles, reducing clenching and grinding, which are common causes of TMJ pain and other symptoms. 

Bruxism

By relaxing the muscles involved in teeth grinding, botulinum toxin can help prevent tooth damage, headaches, and jaw pain associated with bruxism. 

Facial Pain

Botulinum toxin can be used to relieve pain associated with muscle tension, potentially helping with conditions like trismus and trigeminal neuralgia. 

Gummy Smile Correction

Botulinum toxin can be used to relax the muscles that lift the upper lip, reducing the amount of gum tissue visible when smiling. 

Denture Adjustment

In some cases, botulinum toxin can help patients adjust to new dentures by relaxing muscles that may make wearing them difficult, especially for those who have been edentulous for a long time. 

Post-Surgical Pain

Botulinum toxin can help minimize muscle contractions and soreness following dental surgeries like implants or extractions. 

Other Uses

Enhancing Cosmetic Dentistry

Botulinum toxin can be used in conjunction with cosmetic dentistry, like veneers or implants, to achieve a natural and harmonious smile. 

Lip Flip

Botulinum toxin injections can help create a "lip flip" that involves relaxing the muscles around the lips to make them appear fuller and more defined to enhance dental procedures.
