Teeth grinding, AKA Bruxism, may cause pain, headaches, jaw problems and damaged teeth. However, the researchers reported that shots of muscle relaxants into the chewing muscles in the cheek can block the signals that tell these muscles to contract, relieving the grinding and clenching.
Nighttime and daytime bruxism is a very common condition that can cause headaches, temporomandibular joint (TMJ) syndrome and teeth problems that can make life miserable. The cause of bruxism isn’t fully known but is suspected to be due to abnormal nerve signals triggering involuntary and forceful contractions of the jaw muscles. Those contractions result in clenching of the jaw and grinding of teeth.
Muscle relaxant injections have been successfully used in the management of TMJ disorder symptoms for nearly a decade. The injections are used on the jaw muscles to relax the jaw, some of the benefits are that this can: treat headaches; jaw muscle pain; bruxism (teeth clenching); chronic migraines; and trismus (can’t open jaw).
Your first masseter treatment will last around 3 months. With each subsequent treatment to duration of results will increase. After a couple treatments we can usually switch to 6 monthly treatments.
We carry all brands of antiwrinkle; also known as muscle relaxant injections or neuromodulators.
Usually not. All brands have been studied in large trials. These studies have found they all last a similar duration. Individuals may find a a certain brand will last longer or have a more natural effect for them, but this is rare. Cost is the main difference between brands.
Yes, you sure can. Our treatment bookings all include a consult & doctor review.
You can get straight back to work or fun straight after TMJ treatment. You will have some red bumps for about 20 minutes but these will fade quickly. The important part is to avoid touching the area where the anti-wrinkle was injected for 6 hours to minimise the risk of side-effects. Some of the spots injected may feel mildly tender for a day or two.
