What are Cosmetic Injectables?
Cosmetic injectables are not new to the medical field. In fact, they have been around for several years, being used to treat wrinkles, frown lines, and other conditions that appear with aging. Our dentists can also use cosmetic injectables for healing purposes, such as alleviating tension in jaw joints. In recent years, the use of cosmetic injectables in dentistry has become more and more popular.
Cosmetic Applications of Cosmetic Injectables
Cosmetic injectables can be used to treat smile lines, crow’s feet, and other wrinkles. Injections are administered to temporarily relax your muscles and create a younger, smoother look.
Therapeutic Applications of Cosmetic Injectables
One of the most unique things about cosmetic injectables is that they are both cosmetic and therapeutic in nature. The ability that cosmetic injectables have to relax a patient’s muscles means that they can be used to help patients who are struggling with dental issues, including:
- Orthodontic therapy: restraining muscle movement to keep teeth from shifting back into an undesirable position
- Bruxism: the grinding or clenching of teeth
- Temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD): TMD can cause extreme facial and jaw pain
