At IHYA Clinic in Birmingham, we offer a simple, non-surgical and highly-effective solution for teeth grinding which can offer relief and additional benefits for months at a time, so you can feel better and help to save the damage, that this condition can do to your teeth.
It’s not always that clear what causes us to grind our teeth, but it can be linked to several factors. These include:
Teeth grinding can happen whilst you are aware or asleep and can cause other symptoms including a painful jaw (which can lead to a condition which is known as temporomandibular disorder) as well as face, shoulder and neck pain, headaches, earache worn-down or broken teeth (leading to sensitivity and/or loss of teeth and fillings) or disturbed sleep.
Teeth grinding can be extremely uncomfortable and lead to many other symptoms.
At IHYA we offer Botox® injections, applied in to the masseter muscles (either sides of your jaw) to temporarily relax these muscles for up to 6 months at a time. Benefits include less teeth grinding as well as a slimmer jawline with less masseter protrusion.
