Dr. Brian Chamberlain offers BOTOX® treatments in Las Vegas, Nevada, as an adjunctive service to our orthodontic care. BOTOX is commonly known for its cosmetic benefits, but it also plays a significant role in managing dental and orthodontic conditions related to the muscles of the face and jaw.
Benefits of BOTOX
Incorporating BOTOX into orthodontic treatment can provide several benefits:
- Muscle Tension Relief: Helps alleviate discomfort from TMJ disorders and bruxism (teeth grinding).
- Aesthetic Enhancement: Temporarily reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth, enhancing the overall facial aesthetic post orthodontic treatment.
- Adjunct to Orthodontic Treatment: Can assist in retraining muscles during orthodontic adjustments, helping to maintain treatment results.
BOTOX Treatment Process
The treatment involves:
- Consultation and Evaluation: Our orthodontist and team conducts a thorough assessment to determine if BOTOX is suitable for your needs.
- Quick and Minimally Invasive Application: The procedure is performed in-office and typically takes only a few minutes.
- Follow-Up Care: Patients receive guidance on aftercare and scheduled follow-up appointments to assess the effectiveness of the treatment.
