Myoaligner Facelift in Portland, OR
At Aesthetic Smiles, we offer the Myoaligner Facelift in Portland, OR, for patients who want to improve the appearance of their smile, facial support, bite comfort, and lower facial balance without immediately committing to irreversible dental treatment.
Over time, the smile and face can change due to tooth wear, grinding, clenching, bite collapse, missing teeth, malocclusion, jaw position, or aging dental work. These changes may make the teeth appear shorter, the smile look less supported, and the lower face appear more collapsed or aged.
The Myoaligner Facelift is designed to help evaluate and support a more comfortable jaw and bite position before moving into cosmetic dentistry, clear aligners, veneers, crowns, or full mouth reconstruction.
What is a Myoaligner Facelift?
A Myoaligner Facelift is a cosmetic and functional dental approach that uses Myoaligner to help support the jaw, bite, and facial structure in a more balanced position.
Unlike a traditional cosmetic treatment that only changes the appearance of the teeth, the Myoaligner Facelift looks deeper at how the bite, muscles, jaw joints, and teeth influence facial support and smile aesthetics.
The goal is not to replace surgical facial procedures. Instead, the Myoaligner Facelift focuses on how improving dental support, bite position, and jaw function may help enhance the appearance and comfort of the smile and lower face.
Patients who may benefit
- Shortened or worn-down teeth
- Bite collapse
- Loss of facial support
- A more aged-looking smile
- Facial asymmetry
- Jaw tension or TMJ symptoms
- Clenching or grinding
- Chipped or breaking teeth
- Old crowns or veneers that no longer look natural
- A smile that feels unsupported or unstable
- Changes in the lower face, lips, or jawline related to bite position
Test-drive before irreversible cosmetic treatment
One of the most important advantages of the Myoaligner Facelift approach is that it allows patients to test-drive a more comfortable and supportive jaw position before committing to permanent cosmetic or restorative treatment. This can be valuable for patients who are considering smile makeovers, veneers, cosmetic crowns, full mouth reconstruction, clear aligners, restorative dentistry, TMJ treatment, or bite rehabilitation.
Relationship to smile makeovers, FMR, and TMJ
For some patients, Myoaligner Facelift is the first step in a larger smile makeover. It can help us evaluate the bite and facial support before designing veneers, crowns, clear aligners, or full mouth reconstruction.
Patients with severe tooth wear, bite collapse, missing teeth, trauma, malocclusion, or repeated dental failures may need more than a surface-level cosmetic fix. In these cases, full mouth reconstruction may be recommended to rebuild the smile from the foundation.
Cosmetic concerns and TMJ symptoms often overlap. Patients with worn teeth, bite collapse, clenching, grinding, headaches, jaw tension, or facial pain may need a TMJ evaluation before beginning cosmetic dentistry.
