Botox for teeth grinding - bruxism

Do you wake up in the morning with a severe headache and a totally tense jaw? This could be because you unconsciously grind your teeth in your sleep. Then we have the solution: with Botox we can minimize grinding and effectively counteract bruxism by relaxing the overactive jaw muscle (the masseter) with muscle relaxant.

Bruxism: what are the causes and possible consequences?

Bruxism (teeth grinding) can be caused by various factors such as a lot of stress and describes unconscious teeth clenching or grinding. At night in particular, you may unconsciously tense your jaw too much and grind your teeth constantly, which can also lead to sleep disorders and jaw pain (sleep bruxism). The constant clenching can also cause tooth damage – from enamel to small cracks. This is exactly where botulinum toxin comes into play!

Advantages of treatment with Botox for teeth grinding

With botulinum toxin, we can alleviate the symptoms really well. The muscle relaxant relaxes the affected masseter muscle, which is responsible for excessive grinding, and the clenching is significantly reduced. A relaxed masseter muscle no longer causes discomfort such as severe headaches and allows you to sleep better at night. It also minimizes the wear and tear on your teeth. You will usually feel the first effects about 5-7 days after the therapy. The full effect sets in after 2 weeks.

Treatment procedure for bruxism

Your doctor or specialist will analyze your jaw muscles and facial expressions in advance during a consultation to determine the optimal dose of botulinum.

During the treatment, the active ingredient is injected into your affected muscle and lower jaw using super-fine needles. The treatment is virtually painless for you and only takes a few minutes.

You will feel the first effects 5-7 days after the therapy: You grind your teeth less and have significantly less or even no more discomfort. In addition, your face will begin to narrow after about 2-4 weeks, gently shaping your jawline into a V-shape.

If your symptoms are not sufficiently alleviated after 2 weeks, we can easily inject the chewing muscles again.

The right care after your application

Sport and physical activities

Refrain from intensive sporting activities for approx. 72 hours after injecting the jawline. This allows the product to work undisturbed and your result will be just as you want it.

Alcohol and nicotine

Alcohol and nicotine can increase swelling and slow down the healing process. It is better to reduce your consumption a few days before and after the injection, or even abstain completely if you can.

Facial massages

After your treatment, do not touch your face in the areas that have been treated. So do not massage the lower half of your face. Otherwise you run the risk of the active ingredient slipping and affecting the result.

Makeup and skincare

We recommend that you wait 24 hours before applying make-up (especially to the lower face) and facial care. In our experience, creams and facial cleansers can further irritate the skin and promote bacterial infections.
