Most patients experience relief from jaw tension, headaches, and teeth grinding within 1-2 weeks of treatment, with maximum results occurring by 3-4 weeks. Bruxism injections help reduce the frequency and severity of teeth grinding, improving comfort and preventing long-term damage. Regular follow-up treatments help maintain results, ensuring continued relief from bruxism symptoms.
Bruxism, the involuntary grinding or clenching of teeth, often occurs during sleep and can lead to jaw pain, headaches, worn teeth, and facial muscle tension. Fortunately, there is an effective and non-invasive solution—bruxism injections.
Bruxism injections work by relaxing the muscles responsible for grinding and clenching. By targeting the masseter muscles (the primary muscles used for chewing), this treatment reduces the intensity of muscle contractions, alleviating the symptoms of bruxism. The procedure provides relief from jaw pain, prevents further tooth damage, and can help reduce headaches caused by teeth grinding.
The injection process involves placing small amounts of an injectable product into the masseter muscles, where grinding and clenching typically occur. This simple procedure offers long-term relief from discomfort and damage caused by bruxism without the need for dental appliances or other interventions.
Bruxism Injections treat the masseter muscles (jaw muscles responsible for grinding and clenching).
During your consultation, our experts will assess your symptoms, grinding patterns, jaw tension, and medical history to develop a customized treatment plan tailored to your needs.
Bruxism injections involve a series of small injections into the masseter muscles. The procedure typically takes about 15-20 minutes with minimal discomfort. A numbing cream can be applied for added comfort.
There is minimal downtime after the procedure. Most patients can resume their normal activities immediately. Mild swelling or tenderness at the injection sites may occur but resolves quickly.
The cost of bruxism injections varies depending on the severity of the condition and the number of injections required. For an accurate quote, we recommend scheduling a consultation with one of our experienced providers.
Results from bruxism injections typically start to appear within 1-2 weeks, with full effects seen by 3-4 weeks. Relief can last between 3 to 6 months, depending on the individual. To maintain results, follow-up treatments are recommended, with a personalized schedule to ensure continued relief from bruxism symptoms.
Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should avoid this treatment. Active infections or irritations in the treatment area should be addressed first. Any allergies to injectable ingredients must be disclosed prior to treatment. Individuals with certain neurological or muscle disorders should consult a provider before proceeding.
Bruxism injections help relax the masseter muscles, reducing teeth grinding and jaw clenching, alleviating symptoms like jaw pain, headaches, and tooth damage.
The treatment is highly effective in reducing the frequency and intensity of teeth grinding and jaw clenching, providing significant relief for many patients.
Anyone suffering from bruxism, including those with jaw pain, headaches, or worn teeth, may benefit from these injections, especially if other treatments have not provided sufficient relief.
Side effects are generally mild and temporary, such as tenderness or swelling at the injection sites.
