Give overworked jaw muscles a chance to relax. Bruxism therapy reduces the force of clenching that can leave your jaw feeling sore or tired, bringing muscle-focused care into a plan that also considers your bite, everyday jaw function and the dental support you receive.
What is botulinum toxin treatment for bruxism?
Bruxism therapy places botulinum toxin into overactive chewing muscles to reduce the force of clenching. Jaw movement, tenderness and existing dental care guide the choice of muscles and injection points.
When do you choose this treatment?
Consider an assessment if jaw clenching or grinding is accompanied by muscular discomfort. Treatment is considered for overactive chewing muscles alongside the dental and medical care you already receive.
Safety of Botulinum Toxin
Botulinum toxin treatment starts with a medical assessment of your health, medicines and the area being treated. Temporary bruising, tenderness or unwanted weakness can occur. Seek urgent medical attention for difficulty swallowing or breathing, or weakness beyond the treated area.

Here’s what to expect at each stage, from your consultation to your follow-up.

Before and aftercare
Before the treatment
Share your medical history, allergies, medicines and previous procedures, and do not stop prescribed medicine unless the prescribing clinician advises it. Avoid treatment during active infection and tell the clinician about pregnancy, breastfeeding or neuromuscular conditions.
After the treatment
Keep the area clean, avoid rubbing or pressing it, and follow the clinician’s advice about exercise, heat and other facial treatments. Contact the clinic if symptoms become severe or unusual.
Results
Clenching force begins to ease within 3-7 days, helping relieve overworked jaw muscles and the discomfort associated with grinding. The response is assessed after 2-4 weeks, with muscle relaxation commonly lasting about 3-6 months.

Injections reduce excessive chewing-muscle activity. Dental assessment addresses tooth wear and bite, and a mouthguard or other care can be coordinated with your treatment.
Appointments usually take 20-45 minutes. Early changes are usually seen within 3-7 days. The full response is usually assessed after 2-4 weeks. The effect commonly lasts about 3-6 months, but response varies by condition, dose and patient. Your prescriber plans repeat treatment around returning movement or symptoms and the appropriate treatment interval.
Discomfort is typically rated 2-3 out of 10. Topical numbing is available when appropriate. Downtime is minimal, and most people return to normal daily activity the same day. Small raised injection marks or mild swelling may last a few hours and occasionally up to 1-2 days.
