Teeth grinding, also called bruxism, is unconscious clenching or grinding of the teeth. This may occur during both waking and sleeping hours. The constant force can cause headaches, myofascial pain, damage to your teeth, and temporomandibular joint disorders (TMJ).
One treatment for bruxism is by relaxing the “masseter” muscle using antiwrinkle injection- this can provide temporary relief from the tension in the jaw that causes discomfort and prevent the involuntary movements such as clenching and grinding of the teeth.
The treatment also softens the look of a jaw widened by persistent clenching, creating a slimmed facial appearance.
