These injections are most often used on lines around the eye (crow’s feet), frown lines and forehead lines. Although they may also be used for different cosmetic procedures.
The process takes only a few minutes and no anesthesia is required. Botox is injected with a fine needle into specific target muscles and produce only minor discomfort. It may take three to seven days to take full effect.
The application of Botox in the dental practice can be beneficial to you if you suffer from TMJ, or temporomandibular joint disorder, or bruxism, the clenching and grinding of teeth.
Botox works by preventing the muscles of the face from tightening or spasming, thereby halting muscle cramps and relaxing facial features.
Additionally, Botox can be used as a finishing touch to cosmetic dental work; once your smile has been restored, your lips and facial muscles should be just as aesthetically pleasing. The affects of your dental Botox treatment can last approximately 4-6 months, and the treatment may be completed in a single office visit.
