Bruxism Treatment

Introduction

Bruxism treatment using Botulinum Toxin Type A is a medical treatment designed to reduce excessive jaw muscle activity associated with teeth grinding, jaw clenching, muscular tension, and related discomfort.

The treatment focuses primarily on the masseter muscles, helping to reduce excessive contraction and pressure within the jaw area.

This can help improve:

• Jaw tension and tightness

• Teeth grinding

• Jaw discomfort

• Facial pain related to muscle tension

• Headaches associated with clenching

• Jawline bulk caused by overactive muscles

The treatment also supports a softer and more balanced lower facial contour where appropriate.

How the Procedure Works

Following a clinical assessment, carefully measured amounts of Botulinum Toxin Type A are injected into the masseter muscles using fine needles.

The treatment works by temporarily reducing excessive muscle contraction, helping the jaw muscles gradually relax over time.

This may help:

• Reduce grinding and clenching

• Relieve muscular pressure

• Improve jaw comfort

• Reduce tension-related headaches

• Slim excessive jaw muscle bulk where indicated

Results develop progressively over the following days and weeks.
