Botox (botulinum toxin) is actually used as a treatment for bruxism (teeth grinding). Bruxism is a condition in which people unconsciously clench or grind their teeth, often during sleep, which can lead to tooth damage, jaw pain, headaches and other discomforts.

Nocturnal teeth grinding - bruxism treatment with Botox®

How does Botox work for bruxism?

Botox is injected into the masticatory muscles, particularly the masseter muscle (the muscle most commonly used in teeth grinding). The toxin weakens the muscles without completely paralyzing them, which reduces the intensity of teeth grinding. The muscles relax and the pressure on the teeth and jaw is reduced.

This video shows an insight into a Botox treatment for bruxism (night-time teeth grinding) performed by Dr. Tamara Kopp.
