Anti-wrinkle injection to relax the masseter muscle - reduces grinding force, eases morning jaw pain and slims a square jaw line. £350 by a GDC registered dentist.
Anti-wrinkle injected into the masseter muscle reduces the force you can generate when clenching, protecting the teeth from grinding damage.
As the masseter relaxes over a few weeks, the jaw line gradually softens - a desirable aesthetic side-effect for many patients.
Many bruxism patients report reduced morning jaw pain and tension headaches within 2 to 3 weeks of the first treatment.
We understand the muscles, jaw mechanics and tooth wear patterns of bruxism better than non-dental aesthetic providers.
For severe bruxism, masseter treatment plus a custom night guard delivers significantly better protection than either alone.
Effect lasts 3 to 4 months, longer with regular top-ups. No permanent change to your face or muscles.
