What Are Botox and Fillers?
Botox works by relaxing overactive muscles, which can help reduce jaw tension, clenching, and related discomfort.
Dermal fillers are used to restore volume, improve facial symmetry, or support facial structure when clinically appropriate.
When used in dental care, these treatments are planned with an understanding of facial anatomy, bite function, and muscle balance.
Botox and fillers may be considered for:
Jaw clenching or teeth grinding (bruxism)
Facial muscle tension affecting comfort
Jaw-related pain or fatigue
Facial balance concerns linked to muscle activity
A proper assessment is required to determine suitability and treatment scope.
