Apart from the well-known aesthetic purposes of smoothing mimic wrinkles, especially in ladies, Botox is also applicable for medical purposes as it gives very good results.

The injection of the substance has a paralysing effect for a certain period of time on the masticatory muscles, making it impossible to shorten them and thus preventing a number of problems.

The procedure is not followed by a change in appearance, which is why it is suitable for application for both women and men.

Botulinum toxin and the more familiar Botox is used in the dental field for two main reasons. The most common is its use to treat bruxism (clenching and grinding of the teeth). In addition to bruxism sufferers experiencing muscle pain, abrasion and fractures of their teeth, it is common for the gums themselves to recede and the ability to chew to deteriorate.

It is this habit that should be treated before it becomes a chronic problem. Botox intervenes here with a few injections injected with the masseter muscle, which reduce the muscle activity of the face for about 3 months.

Of course, the effectiveness of the Botox administered varies and may be different in each patient. It also depends on the size of the patient's muscles, the degree by which the muscles themselves contract and adherence to strict treatment.

The second use of Botox in dentistry is the treatment of the "Gummy Smile"

In this case, when a person laughs, mainly his gums and palate are visible.
