What is teeth grinding?

Teeth grinding, also known as bruxism, is a common condition where you clench your teeth tightly and move them back and forth or rub them against each other. Often, you're completely unaware of it. It can happen while you sleep, but some people experience it during the day as well. The cause varies from person to person, but stress, sleep problems, alcohol use, and medications are the most common triggers. It's wise to address teeth grinding as soon as possible, as the condition can lead to tooth damage, painful jaw muscles, headaches, and disrupted sleep (for both you and your partner!).

Why treat teeth grinding?

Benefits of treating teeth grinding:

  • Reduces or eliminates teeth grinding: By relaxing the jaw muscles, muscle activity decreases, which helps stop teeth grinding.
  • Relieves pain and tension: The treatment reduces tension-related issues such as jaw pain, headaches, and ear pain.
  • Prevents tooth damage: Less grinding means less wear and damage to your teeth, preventing future dental issues.
  • Improved sleep quality: By relaxing the jaw muscles, you (and your partner) can sleep more peacefully without disturbances from teeth grinding.
  • Aesthetic benefits: The treatment can also lead to a subtle slimming of the jawline, contributing to a softer and more refined facial contour.

During the treatment

How does a treatment for teeth grinding work?

Teeth grinding is treated at Dr. Penny with botox. You always start with a consultation where you explain your concerns to the practitioner. This allows them to choose the best treatment technique. Everything will be explained to you, and then the actual treatment can begin. The area is cleaned, and multiple botox injections are placed in the jaw muscle. 

The botox will relax the muscles, reducing muscle activity and the tension they cause. Once the botox has fully taken effect, teeth grinding and the associated symptoms will be significantly reduced. A nice bonus: the treatment can also lead to a slight slimming of the jawline!

Result

Before and after result teeth grinding

Although we don't have photos to show the difference, we can assure you that the results of a teeth grinding treatment with botox are noticeable. After the treatment, you will notice a significant reduction in tension in your jaw muscles. This leads to less or even no more teeth grinding, which in turn helps prevent tooth damage, painful jaw muscles, and headaches.

You can also expect improvements in your sleep quality, as your jaw will finally get the rest it deserves. Additionally, the treatment can lead to a subtle slimming of your jawline, which can be an added aesthetic benefit.

After the treatment

Aftercare following the teeth grinding treatment

After the teeth grinding treatment, it's important to care for the area. Avoid heavy exertion and pressure on the jaw muscles for the first 24 hours. Try not to sleep on your side or stomach to prevent pressure on the jaw, and avoid massaging or rubbing the injection sites. It's also advisable to avoid intense heat, such as saunas, hot showers, or tanning beds, for at least 48 hours. If you notice any swelling or bruising, don't worry—these will fade on their own. Always follow your practitioner's specific aftercare instructions to achieve the best result.
