Facial Harmonization
WHAT IS OROFACIAL HARMONIZATION?
Orofacial Harmonization seeks the balance and harmony of the smile and face through the synergy between dental treatments and treatments for the supporting tissues of the perioral region. The applicability of these techniques goes far beyond aesthetics, with various therapeutic indications currently available.
As a smile is one of the main elements of the face and beauty, this is an area increasingly sought after in dentistry. It creates a connection between the smile and the rest of the face, viewing the face as a whole.
WHAT TREATMENTS ARE INCLUDED?
- Application of botulinum toxin (known as Botox, used for example, to correct a gummy smile and asymmetric smiles);
- Application of fillers, such as hyaluronic acid;
- Mesotherapy;
- Deep hydration (skinbooster);
- Application of support threads.
