Botox – Bruxism (teeth grinding)

Bruxism is a teeth grinding associated with excessive tension of masseter muscles! It develops most often on the background of stress and malocclusion. It often has a genetic basis. The disease is not only unpleasant for co-inmates, but also quite burdensome for the patient himself.

Excessive activity of the masseter muscles is conducive to problems with teeth and malocclusion (the teeth wear off, the enamel breaks, cavities appear in the teeth, the gums recede); it causes headaches, jaw and neck pains; it can lead to problems with biting and chewing food. Chronic bruxism leads to a change in the shape of the face, making it more square and sharp.

What’s worse, patients often do not realize the above, because grinding is a subconscious process.
