Find Relief from Teeth Grinding and Jaw Tension
Bruxism treatment is available at Dermapure Ottawa Wellington Village, located near the Westboro neighbourhood, for those experiencing jaw tension, headaches, or involuntary teeth grinding — often during sleep. This common condition can lead to worn teeth, chronic discomfort, and facial muscle fatigue. Fortunately, there’s a non-surgical solution that effectively addresses both the functional and aesthetic impact of bruxism.
Bruxism injections target the masseter muscles, which are responsible for chewing and often overactive in people with bruxism. By gently relaxing these muscles, the treatment helps reduce clenching, ease tension, and prevent further dental damage. Many patients also notice a softer jawline over time — a benefit sometimes referred to as masseter reduction.
The procedure is quick, minimally invasive, and performed with precision to ensure natural facial movement and long-lasting relief. It’s an effective solution for those in Ottawa looking to manage discomfort while also addressing the visible impact of jaw tension.

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.

TMJ refers to the temporomandibular joint, which connects your jaw to your skull. When this joint becomes irritated or misaligned, it can lead to symptoms like jaw pain, tightness, clicking sounds and even headaches.
Most patients start to notice improvements within a few weeks. Results typically last several months and can be maintained with regular follow-up treatments.
