Bruxism & TMJ Botox
Therapeutic botulinum toxin to relieve teeth grinding, jaw clenching, and TMJ pain — with the added benefit of jawline refinement.
What Is Bruxism?
Bruxism is a condition characterised by involuntary teeth grinding and jaw clenching — often occurring during sleep. It affects approximately 8–31% of the population and can lead to significant dental damage, jaw pain, and headaches.
How the Treatment Works
Botulinum toxin is injected into the masseter muscles — and in some cases the temporalis — to reduce their involuntary contractions. The 10–15 minute procedure uses fine needles with minimal discomfort.
What Causes Bruxism?
Bruxism can be triggered by stress, misaligned teeth, lifestyle habits, or certain medications. Understanding the underlying cause helps guide effective treatment.

"I had been suffering with jaw pain and grinding for years. After just one session my jaw felt so much more relaxed and I could finally sleep without a mouthguard. Absolutely life changing."
