Botox for Teeth Grinding & Jaw Muscle Reduction

One of the simplest ways to reduce teeth grinding and enlarged jaw muscles is by using Botox® injections (or other neuromodulators) to relax and eventually minimize the jaw muscle.

Why botox for an overactive jaw muscle?

Teeth grinding and an overactive jaw muscle can lead to an enlarged jaw line due to excess jaw muscle development (Masseter Muscle Hypertrophy). Common symptoms of an enlarged jaw muscle are: teeth grinding, headaches, limitation of mouth opening, tension in the hypertrophied region, swollen cheeks, jaw pain.

If untreated, a progression of symptoms can lead to teeth damage and may require dental or surgical intervention. Furthermore, treatment can reduce the appearance of a strong and square jawline and promote a softer appearance. Ask us for more info and to see if you are a good candidate.
