Bruxism Treatment

What Is Bruxism Treatment (Teeth Grinding)?

Bruxism is defined as Excessive grinding of the teeth or clenching of the jaw.

This condition can affect adults and children, and can occur during day or night.

Symptoms

Teeth grinding or clenching, which may be loud enough to wake up your sleep partner.
Teeth that are flattened, fractured, chipped or loose.
Worn tooth enamel, exposing deeper layers of your tooth.
Increased tooth pain or sensitivity.
Tired or tight jaw muscles, or a locked jaw that won’t open or close completely.

Treatment

By injecting small doses of botulinum toxin directly into the masseter muscle (the large muscle that moves the jaw), the muscle is weakened enough to stop involuntary grinding of the teeth and clenching of the jaw. This significantly relaxes the muscle and reduces the wear and tear on the teeth due to grinding.

Relief from Teeth Grinding: Effectively reduces excessive grinding of teeth, particularly during sleep.
Jaw Tension Reduction: Helps relax the masseter muscle, alleviating jaw clenching and associated discomfort.
Tooth Protection: Minimizes wear and tear on teeth, preventing damage such as flattening, fracturing, or chipping.
Enamel Preservation: Helps maintain tooth enamel by reducing grinding, potentially preventing exposure of deeper tooth layers.
Pain Relief: May decrease tooth pain and sensitivity associated with bruxism.
