Find Relief from the Pain and Discomfort of Jaw Tension & Teeth Grinding

Bruxism refers to the habitual grinding or clenching of teeth, often occurring unconsciously while sleeping or during stressful moments. This repetitive action places significant strain on the masseter muscles, leading to persistent jaw tension, pain, and even damage to the teeth. People who struggle with bruxism often experience symptoms like jaw aches, tension headaches, and, over time, tooth sensitivity or wear.

Bruxism and chronic jaw clenching are common conditions that can disrupt daily life and lead to long-term dental and muscular problems if left untreated. Fortunately, effective solutions exist to help you manage and reduce these symptoms.

1. Stress and Anxiety: High-stress levels can lead to involuntary jaw clenching or teeth grinding as a physical response to mental strain.
2. Muscle Overactivity: The masseter muscles can become overdeveloped or overly active, especially in those prone to grinding or clenching.
3. Misaligned Bite: Dental alignment issues may contribute to grinding habits as the jaw tries to find a natural position.
4. Sleep Disorders: Conditions like sleep apnea can sometimes cause or worsen bruxism as the body reacts to disrupted breathing.

Understanding the root cause of bruxism and jaw tension can help guide treatment toward real, lasting relief.

At Face Perfect Clinic, we offer non-surgical solutions that target the underlying muscle activity contributing to bruxism and jaw tension:

Masseter Botox: Our primary treatment for bruxism and jaw clenching, Masseter Botox reduces muscle activity in the masseter muscles. This minimises the force of grinding and clenching, providing relief from tension, jaw pain, and associated headaches.

Every patient’s experience with bruxism and jaw tension is unique. At Face Perfect Clinic, we personalise each treatment to ensure that we address your specific concerns and goals.

Consultation: During your consultation, we’ll discuss your symptoms, history with bruxism, and any pain or tension you experience. Our clinicians will assess the activity of your jaw muscles to ensure Masseter Botox is suitable for you.
