Rhinoplasty: Cost, Pics, Reviews, Q&A

If I get a botox jaw treatment, will I have to continue to get follow ups for the rest of my life

Not necessarily

I find that after a few treatments, the muscle has shrunk in size, and if used in conjunction with a well-made nightguard and stress control, you will be able to maintain your new masseter muscle size.

Is it possible to concentrate masseter botox on the lower portion of the muscle?

Yes

I like to inject in the largest (come out the farthest away from the face) point of the masseter when it is flexed. This is usually around the bottom corner. It will not only define the jawline but also help with clenching/grinding.

Should I replace my dental bonding with veneers?

It depends

A bonding that was well done will not pick up stain from coffee or soda any worse than natural teeth. Doing two veneers to match the rest of the mouth is quite a tricky feat for the average dentist. You will have to shave down a strong natural tooth structure. Depending on when you had the bonding, the gums may fill in overtime. At this young age, I would personally keep the teeth as is.

Thought bonding and veneers have their indications it is always good to start with well-aligned teeth regardless. This alone may take care of your issues and then you will not have to remove or alter any tooth structure.

Impacted canine. Are invisible braces an option?

It depends.

Clear aligners can repair just about everything that traditional braces can. However, you may still have many of the same rubber bands and other gadgets to complete more complex movements like this. I would see an orthodontist (braces specialist) and get a consultation. They will give the pros and cons of traditional versus clear braces. I hope this helps!

Do I need a gum lift and four porcelain veneers?

Start with the end in mind

It is vital to find a dentist that does a comprehensive analysis of not only your smile but how it fits into your whole look, as well as your total health.
If you just received a gum reduction with no bone removal the gum will grow back if there is too much bone. Though some general dentists do this procedure you will often have to see a periodontist (gum specialist) for optimal results.
I would start with the gum lift procedure and then decide if you are still unhappy with the shape and…
