Bruxism & Teeth Grinding Injections

Service Description

60 min – Bruxism and Temporomandibular (TMJ) syndrome are medical conditions that causes pain in your jaw. It is often caused by grinding of teeth, especially during sleep or at times of stress. Botox and Dysport can effectively treat TMJ by relaxing the jaw muscles, so you no longer grind your teeth. Bruxism, the involuntary grinding or clenching of teeth, often occurs during sleep and can lead to jaw pain, headaches, worn teeth, and facial muscle tension. Fortunately, there is an effective and non-invasive solution—bruxism injections. Bruxism injections work by relaxing the muscles responsible for grinding and clenching. By targeting the masseter muscles (the primary muscles used for chewing), this treatment reduces the intensity of muscle contractions, alleviating the symptoms of bruxism. The procedure provides relief from jaw pain, prevents further tooth damage, and can help reduce headaches caused by teeth grinding. The injection process involves placing small amounts of an injectable product into the masseter muscles, where grinding and clenching typically occur. This simple procedure offers long-term relief from discomfort and damage caused by bruxism without the need for dental appliances or other interventions. Our team is composed of highly trained, experienced physicians and nurses who know exactly how to accentuate your best features and highlight what makes you unique. During your consultation, our experts will assess your symptoms, grinding patterns, jaw tension, and medical history to develop a customized treatment plan tailored to your needs. Bruxism injections involve a series of small injections into the masseter muscles. Whether it’s Botox or Dysport, all of our brands have been authorized for sale by Health Canada and respect all the necessary product regulations. CUSTOMIZABLE TO YOU - Most patients experience relief from jaw tension, headaches, and teeth grinding within 1-2 weeks of treatment, with maximum results occurring by 3-4 weeks. Bruxism injections help reduce the frequency and severity of teeth grinding, improving comfort and preventing long-term damage. Regular follow-up treatments help maintain results, ensuring continued relief from bruxism symptoms. NOTE: Our treatment provider will determine the appropriate dose for your needs.
