Who Is It For?
Teeth grinding (bruxism) is a common condition that can cause jaw pain, headaches, worn-down teeth, and tension in the face.
This treatment is ideal for individuals who:
-
Clench or grind their teeth, especially during sleep.
-
Experience jaw tension, tightness, or discomfort.
-
Suffer from frequent headaches or migraines related to jaw clenching.
-
Have worn, chipped, or damaged teeth from grinding.
-
Want a non-invasive solution to relax the jaw muscles and prevent further damage.
If left untreated, chronic teeth grinding can lead to serious dental problems, TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disorders, and facial pain. This treatment helps to relax the jaw muscles and prevent further complications.
How It Works
Teeth grinding treatment involves botulinum toxin injections into the masseter muscles (the large jaw muscles responsible for chewing and clenching).
These carefully placed injections help to:
✔ Relax overactive jaw muscles, reducing the force of grinding and clenching.
✔ Alleviate jaw pain & tension, preventing discomfort and stiffness.
✔ Protect the teeth from excessive wear and damage.
✔ Slim the jawline over time by reducing excessive muscle bulk.
✔ Prevent headaches & migraines associated with jaw clenching.
The treatment does not prevent normal chewing or facial expressions, ensuring a natural and comfortable result.
What to Expect
The Treatment Process
1. Consultation – We assess your symptoms and discuss your concerns.
2. Precise Injections – Small amounts of botulinum toxin are injected into the masseter muscles.
3. Quick & Comfortable – The procedure takes 10-15 minutes, with minimal discomfort.
4. No Downtime – You can resume normal activities immediately.
How Soon Will I See Results?
-
Initial improvements start within 5-7 days.
-
Full effects develop by 10-14 days, with reduced jaw tension and grinding
How Long Do Results Last?
Results typically last 3-6 months, with repeat treatments helping to maintain long-term relief. Over time, regular treatments may train the jaw muscles to clench less frequently, further reducing symptoms.
