Teeth Grinding Treatment

According to the sleepfundation.org. teeth grinding is “a type of movement disorder that occurs during sleep, bruxism is a common condition – one survey estimates that 8% of adults grind their teeth at night.”

Botox for Teeth Grinding is where injections are made along the jaw line to reduce the clenching of teeth and teeth grinding while sleeping. This is often common with stress and can cause tension headaches and TMJ.

This gentle treatment relaxes and slims down the jaw line to stop the grinding of the teeth and in turn the effects this can cause.

Luisa’s thoughts

I handpicked this treatment for Newcastle Skin Clinic because I know first hand how this can be debilitating for sufferers. I myself suffered from nighttime teeth grinding due to stress and I have a very close friend who experiences TMJ.

The treatment is relatively simple and quick with results lasting a long time. An added side-effect of this treatment is it gives a naturally slimming effect to the jawline which can be paired with our jawline and chin enhancement treatment.

FAQs

When injected into facial muscles afflicted with soreness and discomfort, Botox relieves TMJ and jaw tension for many patients. The injections often eliminate headaches resulting from teeth grinding, and, in cases of severe stress, Botox can even minimise lock jaw.

6 months
 
Initially, your Botox treatment for jaw reduction will last up to 6 months. This will last longer over time, however. Patients who have repeated Botox over a long time may not require as many treatments.

There may be a slight dull irritation when chewing following the first few days after botox injection into the masseter muscles, but this should resolve within a week. Avoid lying down in the first four hours after the procedure and avoid massaging the masseter muscles after treatment.
