Teeth grinding, also known as bruxism, is a problem many people have unknowingly, often at night. Your jaw muscles are overactive, you snap your teeth, and in the morning you wake up with a headache, a strained jaw or sensitive teeth. In the long run, teeth grinding can cause serious damage to your teeth and jaw joints. Botox in the masseter muscles is an effective treatment that reduces jaw tension and relieves teeth grinding without causing your jaw to lose its normal function.
Botox for bruxism
How does Botox work for teeth grinding?
We insert botox into the masseter muscles on either side of your face. The muscles relax, reducing the force with which you grind. You can still move and eat your jaw normally, but the overactive grinding is inhibited.
Results and operation
When will you notice the results?
Many women notice relief from jaw tension and headaches after just one week. Full results are seen after 2 to 4 weeks.
How long does the effect last?
On average, Botox for teeth grinding remains effective for 4 to 6 months. Sometimes it is longer, depending on the intensity of the grinding and the size of the masseter muscles.
Teeth grinding Botox
Is Botox for bruxism a medical treatment?
Yes, teeth grinding Botox has both an aesthetic effect (narrowing the jawline) and a medical effect: reducing jaw tension and protecting the teeth. We therefore treat it as a serious medical indication and always perform a comprehensive consultation.
