Botox is popularly used as a cosmetic enhancer. Botox is actually a muscle relaxant and stands for Botulinum Toxin A. But, as of late, Botox is being used in dentistry as well. It is used in the treatment of TMJ disorder, bruxism, chronic headaches, malocclusion, etc. and has been able to render excellent cosmetic results.

How does Botox work?

Prior to administering Botox, the dentist would conduct a thorough diagnosis to determine whether or not your body would adjust to the drug. Once the candidacy is confirmed, you will be prepared for the procedure. Botox is administered to the facial tissues in the form of injections. The drug attaches itself to the nerve endings, thereby gradually blocking the nerve signals from one cell to another. This prevents the contraction of the muscles of the face, thereby considerably reducing facial wrinkles and lines. As the facial muscles and joints are relaxed, it would naturally soothe the patient and ease them of their pains in the facial area.

Temporomandibular Joint disorder - Coming Soon

The TMJ is the joint that connects the lower jaw to the skull. Excessive pressure applied to it can cause severe pain, restrict the free movement of the jaws, and make it quite difficult to bite and chew food. The muscles connecting the joint would be under severe stresses, due to which persistent pain is experienced. By injecting Botox directly into the affected region, the muscles can be relaxed, thereby relieving the patient of the pain. In fact, several patients who had responded to other treatments of TMD show a positive response to Botox.

Bruxism

Bruxism is night-time teeth grinding that is a symptom of sleep apnea. Bruxism can have a significantly bad effect on the teeth as they could wear down to their stumps and put a lot of stress on the TMJ as well. This mostly occurs as a result of the subconscious clenching of the jaw. By administering Botox to the stressed-out region, the muscles will be relaxed and the tendency to clench the jaw would reduce almost completely. Even during sleep, bruxism would be reduced.

Cosmetic Botox

Cosmetic botox, a revolutionary treatment that has become increasingly popular in recent years, offers individuals the opportunity to rejuvenate their appearance and regain confidence in a safe and effective manner. This remarkable procedure involves injecting a protein made from Botulinum toxin into specific muscles of the face, temporarily paralyzing them and reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. Under the skilled hands of our experienced professionals in Matheson Dentistry & Implant Center, cosmetic botox provides natural-looking results by relaxing targeted facial muscles without compromising one's ability to express emotions. Whether it is smoothing frown lines, smile lines, or eliminating crow's feet around the eyes, this treatment empowers individuals to enhance their beauty while maintaining a dignified and age-appropriate look.
