Botox in Dentistry

Botox has firmly established its place in the field of dentistry. In addition to being used for aesthetic purposes in many areas, it is primarily used in the following cases:

• Gummy Smile: Botox is highly effective in cases where the gums are more visible than usual when smiling.

• Bruxism (Teeth Grinding): In individuals with bruxism, the aim is to relax the chewing muscles by reducing their strength, preventing damage to the teeth. This treatment can also help the individual achieve softer, more curved jawlines.

• Excessive Lip Elevation: Some individuals excessively lift their lips when they smile, and even the muscles around the nose can contract strongly enough to raise the lips further. Botox can be used to balance these conditions.
