How does botox help with bruxism and TMJ?

Botox relaxes the masseter muscles responsible for jaw clenching and teeth grinding. This reduces muscle tension, alleviates TMJ pain, and prevents dental damage while creating a slimmer jawline as a cosmetic benefit.

How long do bruxism botox results last?

Bruxism botox results typically last 4-6 months. The masseter muscles gradually regain strength, requiring maintenance treatments to sustain therapeutic benefits and prevent return of grinding symptoms.

How much does bruxism botox cost?

Bruxism botox at Cosmedocs costs £300-450 depending on the severity and muscle size. This therapeutic treatment requires higher doses than cosmetic botox for effective muscle relaxation and symptom relief.

TMJ Botox & Bruxism Treatment

Botox for TMJ and bruxism botox works by gently relaxing the overactive jaw muscles responsible for teeth grinding, jaw clenching, and jaw tension. According to the National Institutes of Health, bruxism affects approximately 8-31% of the general population and can lead to significant dental damage if left untreated. By reducing strain on the masseter and surrounding muscles, this teeth grinding treatment provides both functional relief and subtle aesthetic benefits. Our expert botox for clenched jaw therapy targets bruxism teeth grinding symptoms while naturally slimming the jawline. This proven bruxism treatment helps patients who grind teeth at night or experience symptoms of clenched jaw during the day.

Causes of Bruxism Disease

Bruxism (also known as bruxismo or bruxims), commonly known as teeth grinding and jaw grinding, can be caused by several factors.

Bruxism teeth grinding long term effects showing teeth wear, jaw clenching damage and symptoms of clenched jaw

Botox for bruxism grinding reduces the pressure on the teeth, preventing long-term wear and tear from bruxism teeth damage and clenching teeth.

Primary Causes:

Stress and Anxiety: Major contributors leading to involuntary jaw clenching and grinding, especially during sleep
Misaligned Teeth: Can disrupt normal jaw alignment and function
Lifestyle Habits: Smoking, heavy alcohol consumption, and excessive caffeine
Medications: Certain medications and medical conditions can predispose individuals to bruxism

TMJ Botox & Botox TMJ Treatment Helps With:

Jaw grinding and bruxism grinding can enlarge the masseter muscle, which is responsible for chewing.

Understanding the Muscles of Mastication

Size and Relevance to TMJ, Bruxism and Botox

The muscles of mastication are key players in jaw movement and are directly involved in conditions like TMJ and bruxism.

Muscles That Botox Treatments Commonly Target

1. Masseter Muscle

This is the largest and most powerful muscle of mastication. It plays a significant role in clenching the jaw and is often involved in bruxism. Botox injections in the masseter muscle can also be used for cosmetic jawline slimming.

2. Temporalis Muscle

Located over the temples, the temporalis assists in closing the jaw and clenching. If symptoms indicate, administering Botox injections in the temporalis muscle can also effectively treat bruxism (e.g. associated headaches).

Muscles That Botox Treatments Seldom Target

1. Medial Pterygoid

This muscle, while smaller than the masseter and temporalis, assists in elevating the jaw and plays a role in grinding movements from side to side. It can be involved in TMJ disorders by contributing to uneven jaw movements and strain.

2. Lateral Pterygoid

The smallest of the mastication muscles, the lateral pterygoid helps open the jaw and move it from side to side. Its function is crucial in the mechanics of the TMJ and can be a source of dysfunction in TMJ disorders.

Hypnagogic/hypnopompic hallucinations
