Video about botox for teeth grinding
Do you suffer from teeth grinding or jaw tension? A botox treatment helps relax overactive jaw muscles, reducing grinding.
What does a botox treatment for teeth grinding involve?
During a botox treatment for teeth grinding, the physician injects botox into the overactive jaw muscles. This temporarily reduces muscle activity, causing the jaws to clench less powerfully. This lowers the pressure on the teeth and helps reduce unconscious clenching and grinding.
Results are personal. Consult your dentist for persistent complaints.
When to consider botox for teeth grinding?
Botox for teeth grinding can be considered when the jaw muscles clench too powerfully unconsciously, for example during sleep. This can cause symptoms such as tooth wear, tense or fatigued jaw muscles, headaches, or pain when opening the mouth. By reducing muscle activity, the strain on the teeth and jaws decreases.
During a free consultation, you will discuss your wishes with the doctor. You will receive honest advice about the teeth grinding treatment. This way, you know exactly what to expect.
Before the treatment, the physician will calmly go over the steps with you. Your skin will be cleansed to remove makeup residue and dirt. This allows us to start cleanly and safely.
The physician marks the injection points and places 6 to 8 small injections per side into the jaw muscles. This relaxes the muscles and reduces teeth grinding. The treatment takes 10-15 minutes.
After the treatment, the physician briefly presses on the injection points to prevent swelling and bruising. If desired, you can quietly recover at the clinic. The physician will discuss what you can and cannot do in the coming hours and days.
If the result is insufficient after 2 weeks? Please contact the clinic. We always offer a free touch-up within reason.

Clients rate us with a 9.0
"After visiting three clinics, this one is the best. The Botox they use lasts the longest for me. Today I had a follow-up treatment for my eyebrow lift, and the previous treatment was 5 months ago. At other clinics, it would wear off after just 3 months. Also, the doctor is skilled, explains things well, and injects more often than I was used to. I can definitely recommend The Body Clinic for their Botox treatments."
"What a top doctor! I've tried many doctors, but Rosé is clear and honest, and what's truly amazing is that she gives injections and you feel NO pain."
"Quiet clinic, doctor Mirthe really takes the time to think along with you."

As with all other Botox treatments, other muscles can relax, which can lead to asymmetry in your face. However, the jaw muscle is a fairly isolated muscle, making the chance of this complication extremely small. Furthermore, the muscle strength in the jaw can decrease, which can be bothersome for you. For any follow-up treatment, the dosage can be adjusted accordingly.
The price of a treatment botox for teeth grinding starts from €400. Two weeks after the treatment, you can come in for a check-up to see if this dosage is sufficient for you.
Normally, you should come three times in the first year and then twice a year thereafter. These are averages – durability can vary from person to person.
On the contrary! Because you haven't used the muscles responsible for the uncontrolled grinding of teeth for a while, you might have somewhat unlearned how to use them. Moreover, the area that was inactive for a few months due to Botox has had a chance to recover nicely.
With proper administration of the Botox injections, there is absolutely no reason to worry about a lack of tension in the jaw area. We only treat the overactive muscles and not the essential ones you need. You'll even notice that your face is more relaxed and consequently looks calmer. Almost everyone finds this to be a positive outcome.
Everyone will experience a reduction in bruxism symptoms. However, similar to other botox treatments, some people may metabolize botox quickly. In such cases, this treatment is unfortunately not suitable for you.
