Teeth grinding can entail some unpleasant symptoms, such as wear of the teeth and enamel, pain and headaches. It is usually accompanied by a visibly increased chewing muscle.
With the help of botulinum toxin (Botox®) the muscle tension of the masticatory muscle can be reduced. The muscle becomes weaker and decreases in size which reduces complaints mentioned above. A nice touch is that this creates a softer jawline contour.
Tijdens de behandeling worden er kleine injecties gezet tpv de kauwspier, net onder de huid. Het effect van de eerste behandeling houdt ongeveer drie tot zes maanden aan.
During the treatment small injections are being applied around the masticatory muscle, just under the skin. The effect of the first treatment lasts about three to six months.
