Botulinum toxin injections for uneven lower lip in children
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital, Infections, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests a weekly injection of botulinum toxin type A (a muscle-relaxing medication, like Botox) to see if it can improve the appearance and movement of an uneven lower lip in children with craniofacial microsomia. If successful, this treatment might reduce the visible asymmetry when smiling or baring teeth.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
