Botox® For Teeth Grinding (Bruxism)

Botox® for teeth grinding or Bruxism - helps to improve teeth grinding and relieve jaw clenching and headaches.

Discover relief from teeth grinding and jaw clenching

Bruxism, commonly known as teeth grinding, is a prevalent issue causing distress and potential complications such as jaw ache, headaches and more. At Woodford Medical Belfast, we offer an advanced solution to tackle Bruxism through expertly administered Botox® injections by Dr Patterson and his team of skilled medical injectors.

Why choose Botox® for Bruxism?

Traditional remedies like uncomfortable mouth guards often fall short. At Woodford Medical Belfast we offer an innovative alternative by utilising Botox® to target and weaken the Masseter muscle, responsible for teeth grinding and clenching. This pioneering treatment not only helps protect your teeth but also alleviates the associated pain and discomfort of Bruxism effectively.

Understanding Bruxism

Bruxism can manifest subconsciously during sleep and is frequently linked to stress or anxiety. It is classified into two categories:

• Awake Bruxism: Involuntary teeth clenching and jaw bracing in response to stimuli, often without tooth grinding.
• Sleep Bruxism: Automatic teeth grinding accompanied by rhythmic and sustained jaw muscle contractions.

Effects of Bruxism

Bruxism can lead to short-term discomfort as well as permanent effects such as headaches, facial myalgia (jaw and facial muscle pain), disrupted sleep, and disturbances for partners. Those suffering from chronic discomfort often seek relief through pain clinics in search of solutions.
