Bruxism Treatment (Masseter Botulinum Toxin)

Botulinum toxin injected into the masseter muscles at the angle of the jaw to relax the chewing muscles associated with teeth grinding and clenching. By easing masseter activity, the treatment may help reduce jaw tension and grinding, and over time can also slim a heavy, square jawline. At EstheticKompleks it is performed at a fixed published price after an assessment of your jaw and bite pattern.

Masseter botulinum toxin targets the large chewing muscles on each side of the jaw. In people who grind or clench — often during sleep — these muscles can become overactive and enlarged, contributing to jaw tension, headaches on waking and accelerated tooth wear. Relaxing the masseters with toxin is associated with reduced grinding force and, because the muscle is used less, a gradual softening of a bulky, square lower face over the weeks that follow. At EstheticKompleks the area is assessed first, then a few injection points are placed into each masseter with a fine needle; the appointment is short and most people resume normal activity immediately, avoiding heat and strenuous exercise for the rest of the day. Onset is typically associated with the first one to two weeks, with effects commonly lasting several months before a top-up is considered. The same approach is offered as a non-surgical way to refine jawline shape. The studio uses original, branded toxin preparations and reviews suitability and any contraindications beforehand; the treatment is not performed in pregnancy or breastfeeding. It is well suited to adults troubled by clenching and grinding or those wanting a softer jaw contour without surgery.
