Masseter Botox for Bruxism
Do you unconsciously clench or grind your teeth – perhaps at night or during stressful times? This tension often goes unnoticed for a long time and can lead to pressure or tension in the jaw.
Often, the effects only become apparent at the dentist when wear or damage to the teeth is already visible.
Targeted treatment with Botox can relax the chewing muscles. Clenching decreases, and the jaw feels noticeably lighter.
Aesthetic changes may also occur: Over time, the jaw area appears softer and more harmonious. Learn more: Facial Slimming with Botox®.
