What Is the Teeth Grinding treatment?

Bruxism is a condition where you unconsciously grind or clench your teeth, often during sleep. Botox for bruxism works by relaxing the overactive muscles responsible for clenching, particularly the masseter muscles in the jaw. By reducing muscle activity, Botox can decrease teeth grinding, relieve tension, and protect your teeth from long-term damage.

At Cosmetix, all Botox treatments for bruxism are carried out by trained nurses in a safe, clinical environment, with a focus on comfort and precise results.

treatment faqs

How does Botox help with bruxism?

Botox relaxes the overactive masseter muscles, reducing clenching and grinding, which in turn alleviates jaw tension and protects teeth.

How long do results last?

Results typically last 3-4 months, depending on muscle activity and individual response.

Is the treatment painful?

Most clients experience minimal discomfort. Botox is injected with a very fine needle, and treatment is quick.

How many sessions are needed?

A single session is often sufficient to see improvement, with repeat treatments every 3–6 months for ongoing relief.

Are there any side effects?

Mild swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection site may occur, usually resolving within a few days. Rarely, temporary changes in chewing strength or slight facial asymmetry can occur.

Is Botox safe for bruxism?

Yes, when administered by trained medical professionals. At Cosmetix, safety and precision are our top priorities.

I want to say a huge thank you to Kelly who explained thoroughly the procedures carried out and made me feel at ease. Kelly was highly professional, gentle and made me feel super comfortable from start to finish. I would highly recommend her for any procedures and certainly will be back myself!
