Teeth grinding also known as bruxism, is an issue that many of us are faced with. Whether it’s over clenching, grinding our teeth during the day or unknowingly when we sleep, it can become a bigger issue in the long term.
For many, maybe yourself included, this is creating constant pain and discomfort and affecting your day to day life. The good news is, there are ways to help reduce the symptoms and end teeth grinding, so let’s get into it!
We all know how effective anti-wrinkle injections can be at reducing wrinkles and fine lines. But, did you also know that anti-wrinkle injections can be used as an effective treatment to prevent teeth grinding?
Where are the anti-wrinkle injections injected to help with teeth grinding?
No need to panic – there won’t be any needles going inside your mouth! The anti-wrinkle injections are injected into the masseter muscles. These are the muscles we use when we chew. They can be found between the cheek and jaw and once injected the muscles are relaxed, reducing the nerve signals reaching the muscle, preventing any involuntary movements.
If you are someone who has been struggling from a clenching and grinding jaw for some time, your masseter muscles may have gotten bigger over time, giving you the appearance of a wider face. Anti-wrinkle injections can also help to reduce the width of the face, making it appear much slimmer – an added bonus!

What happens if you leave Bruxism untreated?
