Botox injections, often associated with cosmetic enhancements, have found a new purpose in the treatment of Bruxism—a condition characterised by excessive teeth grinding or clenching.

Bruxism, if left unaddressed, can lead to jaw problems, persistent headaches, and the erosion of tooth enamel. Many individuals who suffer from nocturnal bruxism are unaware of their teeth-grinding habits unless alerted by a concerned partner.

Bruxism primarily involves two sets of muscles responsible for jaw movement, both of which can become overactive, leading to unconscious clenching of the jaw. The treatment for Bruxism employs Botox injections to alleviate pain by relaxing these overactive jaw muscles.

While Botox in the treatment of Bruxism is relatively new, it has shown promising results in addressing this condition. By targeting the root cause—the overactive muscles—Botox injections offer relief and help prevent further damage.
