Stop grinding your teeth till they turn into dust…

Bruxism affects millions of people around the world. The medical term for grinding and clenching your teeth against your will. And trust me…it’s not a good look.

Imagine a condition that destroys your dental work, causes chronic facial pain, and gives you a square-shaped jawline.

Yep…that’s bruxism for you.

The solution?

Masseter Botox injections have proven one of the best treatments for teeth grinding due to chronic bruxism. Literally…the botox injections work by relaxing overactive jaw muscles which are the root cause of bruxism.

What Is Bruxism? Symptoms Explained

Bruxism is the medical term used when you grind your teeth or clench your jaw.

You can do this while you’re awake or asleep. For most sufferers, they grind their teeth unconsciously.

If someone tells you that you grind your teeth every night, believe them. Especially if they say that your dentist told you so.

Here’s the crazy thing about bruxism.

A 2024 meta-analysis shows that the worldwide prevalence of bruxism is approximately 22%.

That means out of every four people you know…at least one of them grinds their teeth.

Bruxism symptoms include worn-down teeth, fractured enamel, and jaw pain. Masseteric headaches are common. Not to mention your jaw muscles may grow to look bulky and square.

• Weakens teeth & causes chronic jaw pain
• Earaches, headaches & sore muscles
• Weak jaw muscles = SQUARE jawline

If you wear a night guard every night, did you know that you can still grind your teeth with one?

Night guards help prevent teeth damage. But they don’t do anything to stop the grinding itself.

Bruxism can’t be fully treated with teeth guards.

Treatment like masseter Botox is one of the few options to help relieve bruxism.

Clinics like the Anti Wrinkle Clinic provide Botox treatments to help prevent teeth grinding from damaging your pearly whites.

Masseter Botox injections literally help relax your jaw muscles which are causing you pain.

How Masseter Botox Works

Ok so what’s the deal with masseter Botox?

The Masseter muscle is one of the main muscles used for chewing.

Patients with bruxism have muscles that contract involuntarily. Meaning your muscles tighten when you don’t want them to.

By “injecting weakness” into the masseter muscles. Botox helps reduce the force your teeth produce when grinding.

Pretty cool right?

Here’s what happens during masseter botox treatment:

Patients visit their healthcare provider to get Botox injected into their jaw.

Most clinics use the DIY Masseter Tool to make injections simple, precise, and painless.

Benefits of Botox Treatment for Bruxism

Wondering why patients are turning to masseter botox for relief?

Allow me to explain…

Injecting botox into your masseter helps reduce the pain and symptoms you experience because of bruxism.

Scientific studies show that Botox injections help reduce pain and discomfort.

A systematic review in 2024 showed that after treatment with Botox, pain score improvements were significant. In some patients, scores went from 7.1 all the way down to 0.2!

In addition to pain reduction…

Masseter botox also helps improve your jawline.

Weak jaw muscles = less square jawline.

Remember how bruxism causes your jaw muscles to look bigger?

When you treat bruxism with Botox, you’re basically helping to slim those jaw muscles back down to normal.

So not only are you reducing the pain you feel when grinding your teeth. You look better too.

Bonus.

Masseter Botox injections are a quick, simple procedure.

What Happens During Treatment

Ok so if you want to get Botox injections for bruxism. What should you expect during treatment?

I gotchu…

Before the Treatment

During your initial consultation, a practitioner will examine your jawline and listen to your symptoms.

They’ll feel along your jawline to see if your masseter muscles feel enlarged. They’ll also ask you questions about your dental history.

You’ll learn if you’re an ideal candidate for masseter botox.

During Treatment

As I mentioned before, the injection process doesn’t take long at all.

You’ll feel a little pinch when the needle goes through your skin.

For men, most practitioners say that 25-30 units of botox should be injected into each jaw muscle. Total.

That shouldn’t take more than 20 minutes.

After Treatment

Take home message: not much!

Some patients may experience some bruising after treatment. But for the most part, you should be able to walk out of your appointment and return to normal activities.

I’ll let you in on a little secret…

It takes time for the results to kick in.

You won’t wake up the next day with a perfect jawline.

Masseter botox doesn’t happen overnight.

You should allow at least 2 weeks to see the results of your injections.

How Long Does Masseter Botox Last?

“How long will the results last?” is one of the most common questions I get about masseter botox.

And for a good reason too.

You don’t want to spend your hard-earned money on a treatment that only works for a few weeks.

Here’s the thing about botox injections…

Patients can expect results to last anywhere between 3-6 months.

That may seem like a short amount of time. But if the results relieve your bruxism symptoms for that period. It’s more than worth it.

Many patients continue getting treatments every 3 months for a year or more. Some even notice permanent improvements between injections!

How?

When you train your jaw muscles to not overwork itself.

Patients that use stress-relief methods alongside their botox treatments are more likely to see permanent improvements.

Final Thoughts
