Jaw clenching, excessive sweating, and gummy smiles are common concerns that can affect both comfort and confidence.
Jaw clenching often stems from tension or involuntary muscle activity in the masseter muscles, potentially leading to discomfort, facial asymmetry, and even headaches.
Excessive sweating, also known as hyperhidrosis, can occur in areas such as the underarms, hands, or face, and may be due to overactive sweat glands unrelated to heat or exertion.
A gummy smile (where a significant portion of the upper gums shows when smiling) can be a result of factors like a hyperactive upper lip or altered tooth-to-gum proportion.
These concerns often relate to muscle activity and functional anatomy, and are commonly assessed as part of a broader approach to facial balance and comfort. A qualified medical practitioner can assess clinical presentation and determine appropriate pathways of care.
A consultation with a qualified Australian-registered medical practitioner is recommended to assess individual concerns and explore appropriate treatment options tailored to your unique facial profile and clinical presentation.
