EDENTULOUS PATIENTS

These patients have benefited from Botox® treatment in cases where the lip muscles have become repositioned due to decreased vertical dimension.

Dentures will not always fit in these situations and Botox® can relax and retrain the muscles around a new denture to make the transition much more successful.

HIGH LIP LINE OR "GUMMY" SMILE

Patients with a high lip line can use Botox® to help relax lip muscles and achieve a lower, more aesthetic smile line. This is popular because the entire process isn't very invasive and can provide a more immediate form of treatment.

TMJ DISORDER 

Temporomandibular joint disorder can cause severe pain from hyperactivity of the muscles and treatment options have been limited in the past. Botox®, will relax these muscles and dental professionals can offer quick and efficient pain relief.

BRUXISM

Bruxism also known as grinding or clenching the teeth can also be minimized with Botox® reducing the force of the muscular contractions involved.  These injections can make a useful adjunct therapy to night guard appliances.
