Bruxism & Jaw Line Reduction with Botulinum toxin Injection, Bright Smile Clinic, London NW3
Saturday 14th October 2023
Botulinum toxin has been shown to be effective in treating bruxism. Bruxism is the involuntary grinding of teeth and clenching of the jaw muscles. When bruxism occurs, the masseter muscles become overactive. When Botulinum toxin is injected, these muscles are temporarily relaxed and weakened. This helps to reduce bruxism in terms of force and frequency. Bruxism can cause a variety of symptoms, such as jaw pain, headache, and even dental damage. While bruxism can be very painful, it can also be very debilitating. Botulinum toxin treatment is a non-intrusive way to treat bruxism. Bruxism can cause the outer enamel of the teeth to slowly wear away, leading to tooth sensitivity. It can cause jaw dysfunction, headaches (particularly morning headaches), and pain in the muscles of the face: bruxing causes the muscles to be overactive, giving rise to these symptoms. It can cause inflammation of the temporo-mandibular joint. Noisy tooth grinding may disturb your sleep - or your partner's!. Do not hesitate to contact BrightSmile Clinic if you experience any of the signs of bruxism, Dr Massoudi will carry out an examination of your mouth with special attention to your jaw and your bite.
