TEETH GRINDING Treatment in London

Masseter Botox Teeth Grinding Treatment

Teeth grinding, or bruxism is a condition in which individuals unconsciously grind or clench their teeth. This often happens during sleep but can also occur when awake. Common symptoms include jaw pain, headaches, earaches, and damaged teeth. Stress, anxiety, and sleep disorders are common causes of bruxism.

Understanding these causes is crucial for effective treatment. One of the key muscles involved in teeth grinding is the masseter muscle. This muscle plays a significant role in chewing and clenching, making it a focal point in effectively addressing bruxism.

What is the Masseter Muscle?

The masseter muscle is responsible for the force and movement required for chewing and clenching. Located at the angle of the jaw, it connects the lower jawbone to the cheekbone. When this muscle becomes overactive due to stress or habitual teeth clenching, it can lead to bruxism.

Overactivity of the masseter muscle can cause it to enlarge and become more prominent, sometimes giving the jaw a bulky or squared appearance.

What is Bruxism Treatment?

Bruxism treatment involves methods to manage and alleviate the symptoms of teeth grinding. These treatments aim to reduce muscle tension, alleviate pain, and prevent further dental damage.

Common bruxism treatments include:

Mouthguards
Stress management techniques
Muscle relaxing injections such as masseter botox.

The goal is to relieve symptoms and improve the patient’s quality of life.

What Does Bruxism Treatment Do?

Bruxism treatment, particularly with masseter botox, helps to reduce the frequency and intensity of teeth grinding by relaxing the jaw muscles.

Botox works by blocking the nerve signals to the masseter muscles responsible for chewing and clenching. This reduces muscle activity, leading to less grinding and clenching. Consequently, patients experience relief from jaw pain, headaches, and earaches, improved sleep quality, and protection against further tooth damage.

The treatment is minimally invasive, quick, and provides noticeable results within a few days to weeks.

Masseter Botox In Action

The lady in the video below came to me to relax her masseter muscle. She was clenching her teeth during sleep and when stressed, producing pain in the jaw and also headaches.

This clenching caused the masseter muscle to look bulky, creating an unfeminine squared jaw which some ladies do not like. By injecting botulinum toxin in this muscle, she will be unable to clench her teeth, thereby reducing the pain and contraction and also flattening the appearance of the muscle, giving the jawline a more rounded feminine appearance. Treatment is repeated 2-3 times per year to maintain results.

Frequently Asked Questions

How soon will I see results?

Injectable treatments are not immediate, and patients should expect to wait for around 2-3 weeks for it to fully take effect. However, patients may start to see results before this point. As the treatment starts to take hold, patients should see a marked improvement in teeth grinding symptoms.

How long do results last?

The effects of injectables are not permanent and wear off over time. This usually takes between 3 and 6 months, depending on how it is processed and broken down by the body. To maintain the effects of treatment, repeat treatments are necessary. Patients are advised to prolong effects by topping up the treated areas before it has completely worn off, rather than retreating from scratch, as this gives better results over longer periods of time.

What is the downtime?

Injectables are non-invasive, and there is very little associated downtime, though patients should take care to follow Dr Injibar’s aftercare advice. Most patients are able to resume their daily activities immediately.

Am I suitable for injectable treatments?

During your consultation, Dr Injibar will ask about your medical history in order to identify any contraindications. This includes pregnancy and breastfeeding, or those who suffer neurological damage in the treatment area

Dr Hiba saved me. I need to see someone urgently about a fast growing/change growth under my eye. Dr Hiba took me in on her break. She did a wonderful job on removing the growth at a sensitive area. Stitches out this morning and it is almost invisible. Professional, soft-spoken – could not recommend her enough!

I had nose Surgery with Dr Hiba Injibar. I couldn’t be happier with the results. From the initial consultation, it was apparent that Dr Hiba Injibar has a lot of experience in the procedure which made me feel very secure. She was very clear about what can be done and was also very attentive to my requests. I would not want anyone else to operate me 🙂 I Recommend 100%.

I had my first Ultraformer HIFU treatment at Dermasurge today with Manuela and I couldn’t be happier with the experience.

Manuela was incredibly professional, patient and reassuring throughout the whole session. She explained every step clearly and made sure I was comfortable, allowing breaks whenever needed and chatting with me to distract from the more intense parts of the treatment. I really appreciated how attentive and caring she was.

The treatment itself was thorough and carefully done — I felt confident I was in very experienced hands. Manuela took her time and made sure every area was treated properly, which gave me a lot of trust in the process.

Dermasurge has a very professional and calm environment, and I’m looking forward to seeing my results over the next few weeks and continuing my treatment plan. Highly recommend Manuela if you’re considering HIFU treatment.

We have used Dermasurge for our two children and the level of service from all staff goes above and beyond. They are polite, personable and knowledgeable. The speed of service is also very good. We have used other dermatologists before and can note that the Dermasurge team are far better.

My teenage daughter attended having suffered with bouts of regular breakouts which caused her significant concern and distress. Dr Hiba took the time to explain what was causing the problem and gave very pragmatic and honest advice about the treatment pathway. Less than a week later the results are already evident and my daughter; who only last week felt very low about her skin now has hope that she doesn’t need to suffer any longer.

Ridwana was also incredibly kind and understanding. She shared her own experiences with my daughter making her feel much more at easy.

The entire clinic has a calming yet professional atmosphere which is exactly how the clinical experience also felt.
