BOTOX
Botox or Botulinum Toxin A is a neurotoxin commonly used in the treatment of wrinkles in the skin. While it is the most well known neurotoxin since it received FDA approval in 2002, it is one of several on the market including
Dysport
Xeomin
Jeuveau
Myobloc
These toxins are a treatment that can reduce the contraction of muscles that cause facial lines/wrinkles over time, resulting in smoother skin. Lasting for several months, it can also be used to block the nerve signal to control excessive sweating in localized areas, and has been shown to be safe and effective in numerous studies.
What many people fail to realize is how the teeth and their position effect the ENTIRE face and neck. When teeth are aligned properly as they should, the face tends to be taught and lifted. That is why when older people are without teeth, the lower third of their fends tends to come over the middle third. However, when they receive dentures, the vertical dimension of their face is then restored (where it should be), all of the muscles in the face are able to work normally and the face begins to appear more proportionate and youthful.
