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.
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.
Bruxism Injections treat the masseter muscles (jaw muscles responsible for grinding and clenching).
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.

The masseter muscles can grow in size due to repeated clenching or grinding of the teeth, often linked to stress, sleep-related habits or jaw tension. Over time, this overactivity can make the lower face appear wider or more squared.
Targeted therapeutic injections can gradually soften and reduce the volume of the masseter muscles. As the muscles become less active, the jawline appears slimmer and more relaxed, both functionally and aesthetically.
Yes. Many patients choose this treatment to relieve jaw tension, reduce the intensity of teeth grinding and ease symptoms associated with TMJ discomfort. It supports muscle relaxation and improves daily comfort.
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.
The results are gradual and natural-looking. As the masseter muscles soften, the lower face becomes subtly slimmer and more balanced. The overall effect enhances facial harmony without changing your natural expression.
The treatment is quick and typically well tolerated. You may feel a slight pressure or pinch during the injection, but most patients describe it as mild and temporary.
We recommend avoiding intense physical activity, pressure on the treated area and chewing gum for the first 24 hours. Your practitioner will provide full aftercare instructions.
Anyone suffering from bruxism, including those with jaw pain, headaches, or worn teeth, may benefit from these injections, especially if other treatments have not provided sufficient relief.
Side effects are generally mild and temporary, such as tenderness or swelling at the injection sites.
