EMG-guided vs. standard Botox for gummy smile treatment
Treatments studied
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial compares two ways of giving Botox for a gummy smile: one using a machine that measures muscle activity (EMG‑guided) and the usual method. The goal is to see which approach works better.
