Botox Applications
Need and suitability for Botox applications are determined by clinical evaluation.
What is Botox?
Botox is a safe treatment method that temporarily relaxes specific muscles. In dentistry, it is used especially for treating teeth clenching (bruxism), jaw pain, and facial shape issues caused by overdevelopment of the masseter muscle. The procedure is completed in a short time, allowing a quick return to daily life.
When is it Applied?
- Teeth clenching and grinding
- Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) pain
- Feeling of jaw fatigue in the mornings
- Excessive enlargement of the masseter muscle
- Softening a square facial appearance
- Headaches associated with jaw muscles
Frequently Asked Questions
Is masseter botox permanent?
No. Its effects typically last 4 to 6 months.
Can I return to daily life immediately after Botox?
Yes. You can resume your normal activities immediately after the procedure.
Does Botox change facial shape?
As the volume of the masseter muscle decreases, the face can gain a slimmer and more oval appearance.
