Bruxism is a condition where you unconsciously clench or grind your teeth — often during sleep or times of stress. While some people may be unaware they have it, more severe cases can lead to daily discomfort, tension headaches, jaw pain, and long-term dental damage.
At Fresh Faces Aesthetics, we use Botox to treat bruxism by relaxing the overactive jaw muscles responsible for grinding and clenching. The result is reduced tension and relief from associated symptoms like aching jaws and worn-down teeth.
Botox offers a safe, effective alternative to dental splints or medication, helping break the cycle of muscle overuse and protect your oral health over time.
Botox works by weakening the masseter muscles, which are responsible for clenching and grinding. Here’s how the treatment works:
Targeted Injections
Small amounts of Botox are injected into the masseter muscles on both sides of the jaw. This helps reduce muscle activity without affecting your ability to chew or speak normally.
Muscle Relaxation
As the muscles relax, the involuntary grinding or clenching reduces significantly, relieving pressure on the jaw and surrounding structures.
Symptom Relief
Clients typically notice a reduction in tension headaches, jaw pain, and tooth sensitivity within 10 to 14 days of treatment.
Ongoing Benefit
With regular treatments every 3 to 6 months, symptoms can be managed long-term. Some clients even find the habit stops altogether after a few sessions.
