Botox is injected to reduce teeth grinding (bruxism), relieve jaw tension, and ease headaches caused by hyperactivity of the jaw muscles. It also helps visually slim the lower third of the face in cases where the chewing muscles are strongly developed.
This procedure helps protect tooth enamel and preserves aesthetic dental restorations such as veneers, crowns, bridges, and implants.
Botox also extends the lifespan of night guards, which are used for both teeth alignment and protection against tooth wear.
