What is Bruxism Treatment?
Bruxism, characterised by the involuntary grinding or clenching of teeth, can lead to various dental issues, jaw pain, and headaches.
The injection of botulinum toxin into the masseter and temporalis muscles, responsible for jaw movement during grinding, temporarily paralyses these muscles, reducing the intensity of teeth grinding.
This non-invasive teeth grinding treatment offers several advantages, including its efficacy in relaxing targeted muscles without affecting overall facial expressions. The procedure is quick, typically requiring only a few minutes, and the effects become noticeable within a few days, lasting for several months. By reducing the force exerted during grinding, muscle relaxing injections can protect the teeth from excessive wear and minimise associated pain and discomfort.
