Orofacial harmonization has emerged as a significant advancement in dental practice, combining aesthetic and therapeutic interventions such as botulinum toxin type A and hyaluronic acid fillers. These procedures address both cosmetic concerns and functional disorders, including bruxism, temporomandibular disorders, and myofascial pain. This narrative review synthesizes current evidence regarding clinical applications, safety considerations, educational frameworks, and regulatory aspects. Findings indicate that while BoNT-A and HA fillers offer effective outcomes, proper training, structured postgraduate programs, and interdisciplinary collaboration are essential to ensure patient safety and standardize practice. Recognizing orofacial harmonization as a multidisciplinary specialty within dentistry can enhance clinical efficacy, improve patient satisfaction, and expand the role of dentists in holistic facial care.
