Understanding teeth grinding

Teeth grinding and clenching, known as bruxism, often happens at night and can cause jaw ache, headaches, worn teeth and a tight, enlarged jaw muscle. Easing the masseter can bring relief and is a use of the techniques behind our anti-wrinkle injections.

What causes teeth grinding

Bruxism is commonly linked to stress and anxiety, and often happens during sleep without you realising. Over time it enlarges the masseter muscle and can wear down teeth. It can also relate to bite alignment, which a dentist assesses.

Who tends to notice it

It is common in people under stress, and partners often notice the grinding at night before the person does. Signs include waking with a tight or aching jaw, headaches, or a dentist noticing worn teeth.

A prescription injectable eases the overactive chewing muscle, which can reduce clenching, grinding and the jaw tension and headaches that come with them.

What results are realistic

Many people find real relief from jaw tension and grinding, and the jaw often slims as a bonus. It is not a cure for the underlying cause, so managing stress and seeing your dentist about your bite and any tooth damage matter too. We are honest about this at consultation.
