Bruxism Treatment (Jaw Clenching & Teeth Grinding)

Bruxism treatment helps relax the overactive jaw muscles responsible for clenching and grinding, reducing tension, discomfort, and wear on the teeth.

Benefits

Bruxism treatment helps relax the overactive jaw muscles responsible for clenching and grinding, reducing tension, discomfort, and wear on the teeth. By softening excessive muscle activity, particularly in the masseter and sometimes the temporalis muscles, this treatment can ease jaw pain, minimise headaches, and help prevent further dental damage.

Many clients also notice a slimmer, more contoured jawline as the treated muscles gradually soften in appearance. Treatments are customised to each individual, ensuring functional relief while maintaining natural facial movement and balance.

How It Works

During your session, RN Catherine targets precise areas of the face with small, controlled injections to relax the underlying muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles. The treatment is quick, usually lasting 15–30 minutes depending on the areas treated.

Some clients may experience mild redness, swelling, or tenderness immediately after treatment. These effects typically settle within a few hours to a couple of days. Most people begin to notice visible improvements within 3–7 days, with full results developing over 2 weeks.

Anti-wrinkle treatments can also be combined with other treatments, such as dermal fillers or skin needling, to enhance overall facial rejuvenation and balance

Aftercare Tips

Avoid touching or massaging treated areas for at least 24 hours.
Avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours to minimise swelling or bruising.
Avoid heat exposure, saunas, and excessive sun for the first day.
Chew soft foods if temporary chewing fatigue occurs.
Avoid alcohol for 24 hours.
Pause active skincare such as retinol and AHAs/BHAs for 24 hours if treatment was performed near the lower face.
Contact the clinic if you experience any concerns or persistent discomfort.
