FACIAL HARMONISATION

Orofacial Harmonisation, also known as Facial Harmonisation, focuses on the assessment and treatment of facial and neck structures associated with the oral cavity, chewing muscles and their supporting tissues.

Its purpose is to promote a balanced relationship between the smile, lips and surrounding facial structures while respecting each patient’s anatomy, expression and individual features.

A personalised approach

Every face is unique. For this reason, any Orofacial Harmonisation treatment should begin with an individual clinical assessment.

During the consultation, the facial proportions, smile, surrounding tissues, muscle dynamics and relationship between facial and oral structures are assessed. The patient’s medical history, expectations and possible contraindications are also considered.

Based on this assessment, the dentist may prepare a personalised plan suited to the patient’s identified needs and objectives.

Integration with dentistry

Orofacial Harmonisation may complement certain dental treatments by supporting a more balanced relationship between the smile and the face.

It may be considered alongside Orthodontics, Oral Rehabilitation, Implant Dentistry or Cosmetic Dentistry when clinically appropriate and when the patient is seeking a more comprehensive approach.

The aim is not to change the patient’s individual facial features, but to seek a natural and balanced result suited to their anatomy.

Safety and clinical assessment

Orofacial Harmonisation procedures should be carried out by appropriately qualified professionals with a detailed knowledge of facial anatomy and the ability to assess indications, contraindications and potential risks.

The choice of treatment always depends on a clinical assessment. Results vary between patients, and no procedure should be performed without an individual diagnosis and treatment plan.

To find out whether Orofacial Harmonisation is appropriate for you, book an assessment at Wave Dental in Coimbra, Juncal or Valado dos Frades, in the municipality of Nazaré.
