What is Jaw Clenching? 

Jaw clenching, also known as bruxism, is a condition where you grind or clench your teeth, often without realizing it. This can happen during the day or at night while you sleep. It can cause pain, headaches, and damage to your teeth.

How Can Botulinum Toxin Help?

Botulinum toxin is a treatment commonly known for reducing wrinkles, but it can also help with jaw clenching. Botulinum toxin works by relaxing the muscles responsible for clenching and grinding. This can reduce pain and prevent damage to your teeth.  

What to Expect During the Treatment?

• Consultation: You'll meet with a specialist to discuss your jaw clenching problem and see if botulinum toxin is right for you.
• Preparation: The treatment area will be cleaned.
• Injection: Botulinum toxin is injected into the jaw muscles. The process is quick, usually taking about 10-15 minutes.
• Post-Treatment: You can return to your normal activities immediately, but you should avoid heavy exercise for a day or two.
