Botox treatment for teeth grinding
effective therapy for bruxism
Targeted relaxation of the chewing muscles
Teeth grinding (bruxism) can lead to jaw pain, headaches, tooth damage, and tension in the face and neck. Targeted Botox treatment relaxes the overactive chewing muscles, thereby significantly reducing nighttime grinding and clenching.
How does Botox work for bruxism?
Controlled reduction of muscle activity
Botulinum toxin is precisely injected into the masseter muscle. Muscle strength is reduced without significantly impairing normal chewing function. This provides lasting relief from pressure, tension, and discomfort.
Who is this treatment suitable for?
This therapy is particularly suitable for:
- nighttime teeth grinding
- strong jaw clenching
- Tension headaches
- Pain in the jaw and facial area
- excessively pronounced chewing muscles
- therapy-resistant bruxism
