Treatments for Teeth Grinding & Gummy Smiles
Botox® is a fantastic treatment for helping patients who grind their teeth either during their sleep or during the day. Teeth grinding can cause severe dental problems for patients, so find this treatment effective for them.
We treat the area with Botox® to reduce the stress and tension that can cause teeth grinding. This is a personalised treatment to help relax the muscles in the jaw and face, which can reduce the occurrence of teeth grinding. With the help of this service, you can take back control of your dental health and have more peaceful nights of sleep.
The product starts taking effect on day 2/3 but the full effects can take 2-3 weeks. Most patients do not need additional treatment but if required we can top up at a nominal fee.
* We have a 48-hour cancellation policy for all appointments. If appointments are missed, a fee will be charged.

FAQs
How does Botox help relieve symptoms of teeth grinding (Bruxism)?
Botox is injected directly into the masseter muscles (the large jaw muscles used for chewing). This relaxes the muscle, reducing the involuntary, often forceful clenching and grinding that occurs, particularly during sleep.
Does treating teeth grinding help with headaches and migraines?
Yes. Many clients find significant relief from tension headaches, neck pain, and even some migraines, as these are often directly related to the chronic tension carried in the powerful masseter and temporal muscles.
Will the masseter Botox treatment change the shape of my face?
Yes, as the overdeveloped masseter muscle relaxes and slightly reduces in size over time, it creates a desirable side effect: a slimmer, softer, and more V-shaped facial profile.
Will the Botox injection affect my ability to chew or talk normally?
No. The injection is precisely placed to reduce the force of the involuntary clenching, but it does not affect the smaller muscles needed for normal talking and eating.
How soon will I notice relief from my teeth grinding symptoms?
Relief from grinding and jaw tension typically begins to set in around 7 to 10 days after treatment, with the facial slimming effect becoming visible over the following 4 to 6 weeks as the muscle gradually relaxes.
