FACIAL ESTHETICS
At NOHO Orthodontics, Dr. Tenny is committed to helping patients achieve not only beautiful smiles, but also improved comfort and facial balance. As part of that commitment, Dr. Tenny is now certified through the American Academy of Facial Esthetics to provide therapeutic and smile-enhancing Botox treatments in our office.
Botox has become an effective and widely trusted treatment for relaxing specific facial muscles that can cause discomfort or affect the appearance of a smile. These quick, minimally invasive treatments can provide relief from jaw tension and headaches while also helping create a more balanced, confident smile.
TMJ & Jaw Tension Relief
​​Many patients experience discomfort from TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disorders, which can cause jaw soreness, clenching, grinding, and frequent headaches. Botox can gently relax the overactive muscles responsible for this tension, helping reduce pain, improve comfort, and decrease strain on the jaw.
Headache Relief
​​For some patients, chronic tension in the facial and jaw muscles contributes to recurring headaches. By relaxing these muscles, Botox treatments may help reduce the frequency and severity of headaches caused by muscle strain and clenching.
Gummy Smile Treatment​​
If your smile shows more gum tissue than you would like, Botox can help relax the muscles that elevate the upper lip. This simple treatment can create a more balanced smile by allowing the lip to rest in a more natural position when smiling.
Safe, Convenient Care from a Trusted Orthodontist
​
Because orthodontists specialize in the muscles, structure, and function of the face and jaw, they are uniquely qualified to provide facial aesthetic treatments that complement your smile. Dr. Tenny’s certification through the American Academy of Facial Esthetics ensures these treatments are performed with precision, safety, and a deep understanding of facial anatomy.
​
Treatments are quick, require little to no downtime, and can often be completed during a routine visit to our office.
