Lip Competence (Mouth Closure)
Patients who, due to retrognathia or lack of dental support, cannot close their lips at rest (lip incompetence), which leads to mouth breathing and dry gums.
Treatment: We provide structural support to the lip to allow for a tight and functional lip seal without muscular effort.
Correction of Facial Asymmetries
Chin deviations or noticeable volume differences between the left and right sides of the face, often caused by chewing only on one side (unilateral habit) or by uneven bone development.
Treatment: We balance muscle and dermal volumes to achieve functional symmetry that improves mandibular dynamics.
Replacement in Maxillary Atrophy (Deep Grooves)
When teeth are lost, the bone is resorbed and the face “sinks” (tissue collapse).
Treatment: We fill the lost space in the perioral area to restore the patient’s original vertical dimension, providing support for the placed prostheses or implants.
Gummy Smile (Muscle Hyperfunction)
Patients who, when smiling, expose an excessive amount of gum tissue due to a hypertonic (too strong) or short upper lip.
Treatment: We modulate muscle activity or create a physical stop to prevent the lip from rising excessively, protecting the gum from drying out.
Interdental Papillae Defects (Black Triangles)
Loss of gum tissue between the teeth creates dark spaces where food accumulates and affects speech (lisping).
Treatment: Infiltration of hyaluronic acid into the papilla to regenerate volume and close those pathological spaces (black spaces).
Is it a definitive treatment?
No. El ácido hialurónico es un material reabsorbible. Desde el punto de vista clínico, esto es una ventaja, ya que la cara y los huesos cambian con los años. Nos permite adaptar el tratamiento a la evolución anatómica del paciente. La duración media del efecto terapéutico es de 9 a 12 meses.
Does it replace orthognathic surgery?
En casos leves o moderados, podemos realizar un “camuflaje clínico” de defectos óseos (como un mentón retraído) mediante rellenos, evitando la cirugía. Sin embargo, en disgnatias severas, la Dra. Acosta evaluará si es necesaria una intervención quirúrgica mayor.
Does it have medical contraindications?
It is a very safe treatment, but we will perform a complete medical history to rule out active autoimmune diseases or infections in the area to be treated that could interfere with the biomaterial.
Does the infiltration hurt?
Because it is performed in a dental setting, we use intraoral local anesthesia techniques (the same as for fillings). This ensures that the procedure is painless and precise.
