Teeth Grinding & Clenching

Teeth grinding and jaw clenching (bruxism) can cause jaw pain, headaches, facial tension, worn teeth, and even changes in facial shape over time. Anti-wrinkle injections offer a non-surgical treatment option to help relieve these symptoms by relaxing the overactive jaw muscles responsible for grinding and clenching—most commonly the masseter muscles.

This treatment works by carefully placing small, precise doses of muscle-relaxing medication into the targeted muscles. By reducing excessive muscle activity, the treatment can ease tension, minimise discomfort, decrease the intensity of grinding, and help protect your teeth from further damage. Many patients also notice relief from tension headaches and jaw soreness.

Our approach prioritises both function and natural aesthetics. While relaxing the masseter muscles can also soften a square or bulky jawline, our primary focus is therapeutic relief and balanced muscle function. We use conservative dosing tailored to your facial structure and symptoms to ensure you maintain natural movement and expression.

Results typically begin to develop within several days, with full effect seen around two weeks after treatment. Symptom relief generally lasts 3–4 months, after which maintenance treatments may be recommended depending on individual needs.

Your safety is our priority. We use only TGA-compliant products approved for use in Australia and adhere strictly to clinical safety standards and best-practice protocols. Treatments are performed by qualified professionals with advanced knowledge of facial anatomy and muscle function.

A thorough consultation is conducted prior to treatment to assess your symptoms, medical history, and suitability. Where appropriate, we may also recommend collaboration with your dentist for comprehensive management.
