Primarily, Botox is used to repair Facial aesthetics, but it can also be beneficial in treating high lip lines for patients who are facing problems adjusting to their new dentures. Botox is derived from a bacterium, clostridium botulinum that can be found in a variety of natural substances. This protein helps in relaxing the muscles and reducing wrinkles in your skin. According to Dr. Ehsan Pourshirazi, Botox treatments are really helpful in treating dental conditions including temporomandibular joint disorder, high lip lines, bruxism, and many more. But you’ll need regular Botox treatments to maintain the benefits of them as the treatment lasts only temporarily.

High Lip Lines: High lip lines are a condition where the majority of the gum above your teeth is exposed while you smile. This condition can be treated by Botox as it helps in relaxing your lip muscles and gives you an aesthetic smile line. The entire process is unintrusive and very popular as it can be completed within 10 minutes, costs way less, and provides a more immediate form of treatment.

TMJ and Teeth Grinding: Temporomandibular joint problem which is also called “TMJ” occurs when the muscles become tense with stress. This causes a lot of pain and discomfort during talking, chewing, and other movements of the jaw. Botox can help in relaxing those TMJ muscles and joints and provide the person relief from extreme pain and discomfort.

Bruxism: Most people these days suffer from anxiety and stress and some of them develop the habit of grinding their teeth during sleep. A constant headache or sore jaw are some of the symptoms of bruxism. It can cause many jaw problems and damaged teeth if the problem persists for the long term. Medical scientists have discovered that shots of Botox injected into the chewing muscles may help in blocking the signals that usually trigger the grinding and clenching.

Enhancing and Reshaping your Smile: The benefits of having a confident and aesthetic smile are enormous; it can be a significant factor in one’s personality. But most of us don’t have that aesthetic smile, fortunately for them, Botox is a great solution. Botox injections between the lip and the skin cause the orbicularis muscles to relax, which softens lip lines and greatly improves a person’s smile.

Adjusting to New Dentures: When a person will wear his new dentures, their muscles might feel strained as they usually have different patterns and functional demands which often results in a lot of discomforts and pain too. Botox could be used to relieve facial pain and discomfort that arises from most dental treatments. Most Dentists recommend Botox to help patients adjust their dentures if they are experiencing a large or unusual amount of discomfort.

Even though Botox has been administered mostly by plastic surgeons and dermatologists. It’s slowly revolutionizing the dentistry world too, many pioneering doctors like Ehsan Pourshirazi believe that sooner Botox will be one of the best and most affordable options to provide a variety of patients the best care they deserve.
