Bruxism
WHAT DOES
Normally, bruxism is a pathology that consists of unconsciously clenching the jaw or even grinding the teeth; it usually occurs while we sleep.
This can lead to various problems such as tooth wear, muscle pain or headache. It can be caused by stress or back injuries. Botulinum toxin allows us to treat this pathology by relaxing the maxillofacial muscles through its injection. In this way, not only the oral damage can be solved, but also the excessive size of the muscles of the face, thus achieving, in some cases, smoothing the features.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does the effect of Botox for bruxism last?
The effect of neuromodulators in the masseter muscle area can last between 6 and 9 months, depending on each case.
Does bruxism treatment change the face?
Although the purpose of this treatment is medical, it is true that it also has an aesthetic result. By relaxing the muscle it stops "training" so that the face is refined.
What happens when the effect of bruxism treatment wears off?
The masseter muscle gradually recovers its activity and if you are a nervous or stressed person, bruxism will return. It is true that if you take the treatment continuously bruxism may decrease.
