Find Relief from Teeth Grinding and Jaw Tension
The lower face plays a vital role in both facial harmony and everyday function. When the masseter muscles become overactive from repeated teeth clenching, bruxism or tension in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), it can lead to chronic discomfort, frequent headaches, muscle fatigue and a heavier, more squared facial shape.
Injections offer a precise and non-invasive approach to reduce this tension. The treatment works by gently relaxing the masseter muscles — the strong jaw muscles involved in chewing and clenching. Small amounts of product are injected directly into the targeted area to reduce excessive muscle activity, without affecting natural movement or expression. The goal is not to freeze the muscle, but to soften the strength of its contractions. As the muscle gradually relaxes, both function and facial appearance improve in a balanced, natural way.
This approach is commonly referred to as masseter reduction, and is used not only to relieve tension but also to support facial slimming in patients with a strong or bulky lower face.
Patients typically notice three key outcomes:
As tension in the jaw decreases, many patients experience improved comfort, fewer headaches and less pressure around the TMJ. Everyday actions like chewing and speaking become more comfortable and natural.
Teeth clenching and grinding become less frequent and less intense. This helps protect the teeth, reduce muscle fatigue and support long-term joint health, especially in patients affected by TMJ-related symptoms.
As the masseter muscles gradually reduce in volume, the jawline appears slimmer and more contoured. This progressive change enhances the lower facial shape, creating a softer and more harmonious profile — without altering bone structure or facial expression.
The treatment is quick, non-surgical and requires no downtime. Over the following weeks, patients experience meaningful relief along with visible, natural-looking improvements in facial balance
Most patients experience relief from jaw tension, headaches, and teeth grinding within 1-2 weeks of treatment, with maximum results occurring by 3-4 weeks. Bruxism injections help reduce the frequency and severity of teeth grinding, improving comfort and preventing long-term damage. Regular follow-up treatments help maintain results, ensuring continued relief from bruxism symptoms.
During your consultation, our experts will assess your symptoms, grinding patterns, jaw tension, and medical history to develop a customized treatment plan tailored to your needs.
Bruxism injections involve a series of small injections into the masseter muscles. The procedure typically takes about 15-20 minutes with minimal discomfort. A numbing cream can be applied for added comfort.
There is minimal downtime after the procedure. Most patients can resume their normal activities immediately. Mild swelling or tenderness at the injection sites may occur but resolves quickly.
Treatment prices vary based on your individual needs and the specific procedure performed. To learn more about pricing, we invite you to contact your clinic or schedule a consultation with our experts.
Results from bruxism injections typically start to appear within 1-2 weeks, with full effects seen by 3-4 weeks. Relief can last between 3 to 6 months, depending on the individual. To maintain results, follow-up treatments are recommended, with a personalized schedule to ensure continued relief from bruxism symptoms.
Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should avoid this treatment. Active infections or irritations in the treatment area should be addressed first. Any allergies to injectable ingredients must be disclosed prior to treatment. Individuals with certain neurological or muscle disorders should consult a provider before proceeding.
Bruxism Injections treat the masseter muscles (jaw muscles responsible for grinding and clenching).
