Teeth grinding, also known as Bruxism, can have a devastating effect on the architecture of our teeth. It can destroy our dental enamel and cause long-lasting issues that need invasive dental treatment. Some people even grind through their mouthguards, so alternative treatment options are welcome and necessary.
Botox treatment is a safe, simple, and successful treatment to manage bruxism. The masseter muscle, one of the strongest muscles in the body responsible for chewing, is treated with muscle relaxing injections. Treatment can last up to 6 months and may have a cumulative effect.
Treating the masseter muscles with Botox may also be used to aid slimming down the jawline.
