Masseter (bruxism) teeth grinding - treatment with Botox

Do you suffer from night-time teeth grinding (bruxism)? This unconscious phenomenon can not only lead to tooth damage, but also to pain in the jaw and facial area. The masseter muscle, the chewing muscle, is often affected and can become enlarged due to constant teeth grinding. The good news is that targeted Botox treatment can provide relief.

At our aesthetic practice Dr. Lema in Frankfurt, we offer you an effective and gentle solution to teeth grinding. The targeted use of Botox in the masseter muscle can reduce excessive muscle activity, which not only alleviates your discomfort but can also contribute to a more harmonious facial shape. Many of our patients report a significant improvement in their quality of life after treatment.

Treatment procedure

The treatment process in our practice in Frankfurt is uncomplicated and takes place in several steps:

1. Advice and diagnosisIn an initial consultation, we will analyze your symptoms together and discuss your individual needs. We pay particular attention to the condition of your masseter muscle and the effects of teeth grinding.

2. Planning the treatmentBased on the diagnosis, we create a customized treatment plan for you. We will determine the amount of Botox to be used and at which points of the masseter muscle the injections should be made.

3. The Botox injectionThe actual treatment is painless and only takes a few minutes. The Botox is injected precisely into the masseter muscle using fine needles. The procedure is performed on an outpatient basis so that you can return to your everyday life immediately afterwards.

4. Aftercare and effectThe effect of the Botox injection sets in after a few days and usually lasts for several months. During this time, the masseter muscle is relaxed and teeth grinding is significantly reduced. To achieve a long-term improvement, we recommend repeating the treatment at regular intervals.
