Treating bruxism (teeth grinding) with Botox® by Aesthetify

Bruxism (teeth grinding and clenching) can lead to tension, jaw problems, headaches, and dental damage. Botox® can reduce the activity of the overworked chewing muscles. The injection relaxes the muscles, which relieves the jaw and teeth without significantly restricting the natural function of the jaw. Treatment of bruxism using botulinum injections is a complement to a bite splint. In addition to the Botox® treatment, a supplementary dental consultation at Aesthetify SMILE can also be beneficial.

Frequently asked questions about bruxism treatment

Yes, Botox® can be used for bruxism to specifically reduce the activity of the chewing muscles. This can reduce the strain on the jaw and teeth. The treatment aims to relax the muscles without significantly restricting the natural function of the jaw.

The effect of Botox® does not set in immediately. As a rule, the chewing muscles begin to relax within a few days. The full effect usually shows after around one to two weeks. Many patients subsequently report a noticeable relief of the jaw as well as less tension and fewer symptoms.

Yes, as a rule you can eat and chew completely normally after the treatment. The aim of the treatment is not to switch off the chewing muscles, but to specifically reduce their excessive activity. This means the natural function of the jaw is normally preserved, while the strain caused by unconscious teeth grinding and clenching can be reduced.

The costs of a bruxism treatment with Botox® are generally not covered by statutory health insurance funds. In individual cases, a cost contribution may be possible, provided there is a medical necessity and the requirements are met. Whether and to what extent costs are covered, you can find out directly from your health insurance provider.
