Botox is commonly associated with cosmetic treatment. In dentistry, the indication differs.
Cosmetic Botox
• Targets facial wrinkles
• Focuses on superficial expression lines
• Aesthetic outcome primary
Therapeutic Dental Botox
• Targets masticatory muscles
• Reduces pathologic clenching
• Protects occlusion
• Supports TMJ management
Intent and anatomical targets differ significantly.
The Clinical Perspective
When used appropriately, Botox can:
• Improve comfort
• Protect dental work
• Reduce muscle overload
• Support comprehensive TMJ care
It should always be integrated into a structured treatment plan.
