Yes, Botox® can be an effective treatment option for severe teeth grinding (bruxism).

How it works:
Teeth grinding is caused by excessive tension in the masticatory muscles (especially the masseter muscle). Through targeted injections with Botox®, this muscle activity is reduced without impairing chewing movement. This allows the muscles to relax, and the strain on teeth, jaw joints, and chewing muscles decreases significantly.

Benefits:

  • Relief of pain in the jaw and facial area
  • Protection of the teeth from wear and damage
  • Relief for the temporomandibular joint
  • In some cases, an aesthetic slimming of the lower face

Duration of effect:
The effect sets in after a few days and generally lasts for 3 to 6 months. Repeating the treatment is easily possible.

Individual consultation:
Whether Botox® is the right therapy for your teeth grinding depends on the severity and your individual symptoms. Our specialist physicians at JUVENIS will advise you in detail and create a personalized treatment plan.
