Treatment details
Suffer with Bruxism (Teeth grinding) or migraines?
Bruxism is a medical term for subconscious teeth grinding. This can occur while awake or asleep. This can be worsened by stress. Grinding on the teeth can wear down teeth over time so is important to treat it. This can also lead to migraines in others.
The treatment uses anti-wrinkle injections to the Masseter (jaw) muscle. This causes the masseter muscle to relax, relieving the symptoms of Bruxism.
This has a range of benefits both cosmetic and medical. These include Facial balancing and treating medical conditions such as Bruxism and Migraines.
We can also use this treatment to slim down the jawline improving facial balance in those with a wider jawline. Regular injections can cause the masseter muscle to relax, this decreases the size of the masseter muscle over time.
We recommend repeating treatments every 3-4 months for optimal results and maintenance.
