Teeth Grinding & Masseter
Masseter botulinum toxin injections are an effective, non-surgical treatment for jaw pain as a result of teeth clenching and grinding. By relaxing the overactive masseter muscles, this treatment can relieve discomfort and create a softer, more balanced facial contour. The procedure itself is quick—typically taking less than 15 minutes—with minimal discomfort and no significant downtime, allowing you to return to your normal routine straight away. Results gradually develop over the following weeks, easing muscle strain and refining the jawline’s appearance. Many patients also notice secondary benefits such as reduced tension headaches and facial symmetry improvement. It’s a simple yet transformative treatment that offers both therapeutic relief and aesthetic enhancement
