Teeth clenching or grinding is a condition that develops unknowingly, especially during sleep, and can lead to problems such as jaw pain, headache, tooth sensitivity, wear on teeth and widening of the jaw line over time. One of the frequently preferred methods in the treatment of bruxism is Neurotoxin injection applied to the masseter muscle.
The neurotoxin temporarily reduces the activity of the chewing muscles on both sides of the jaw, allowing the muscles to relax. Thus, pain caused by jaw clenching is relieved, tension in the jaw line is reduced and the pressure on the teeth is eliminated. The procedure is completed within minutes and the person can return to normal life on the same day.
The effect of the neurotoxin usually subsides within 5-7 days, and the results last for 4-6 months. It can be safely applied when the procedure needs to be repeated. This treatment can also provide a more elegant appearance to facial features by slimming the chin contour.
