How Anti-Wrinkle Injections Work for Bruxism
By injecting small, carefully controlled doses of toxin directly into the masseter muscle (located at the jaw), the muscle is temporarily weakened, reducing the unconscious grinding and clenching that causes bruxism-related symptoms. This minimally invasive treatment offers:
-
Significant relief from jaw tension and pain
-
Reduced frequency and severity of headaches
-
Protection against further dental wear
-
Long-lasting results with little to no downtime
