FAQs

Teeth grinding and clenching may be linked to stress, sleep habits, bite concerns, medication, or overactive jaw muscles. Symptoms can occur during the day or while sleeping.
Targeted injections temporarily reduce excessive activity in the masseter muscles. This can ease jaw tension and clenching while allowing normal movement for speaking and chewing.
Common signs include jaw tightness, facial soreness, worn or damaged teeth, morning headaches, ear discomfort, and clicking or tension around the jaw joint.
The treatments work differently. A night guard helps protect the teeth from grinding, while masseter treatment reduces muscle activity. Some patients may use both based on dental or medical advice.
Jaw tension may begin to improve gradually after treatment. Changes in muscle bulk and lower face shape typically develop more slowly over several weeks.
Treatment is carefully planned to reduce excessive muscle activity while maintaining normal jaw function. Temporary chewing fatigue may occur, particularly with firmer foods.
Results generally last several months, although timing varies with dosage, muscle strength, metabolism, and individual clenching patterns. Maintenance may be recommended.
