Bruxism FAQ's
- What causes bruxism?
-
Teeth grinding or clenching is often linked to stress, anxiety or overactive jaw muscles. It can also be related to bite alignment or lifestyle factors such as caffeine or sleep disturbance.
- How does Masseter Botox work?
-
Botox gently relaxes the masseter muscles responsible for clenching and grinding. This reduces tension and prevents further damage to teeth without affecting normal facial movement.
- How long do results last?
-
Results usually appear within 1–2 weeks and last 3–6 months. Many patients choose to maintain results with regular review and treatment.
