Most often associated with hypertrophy of the cheek muscles (masseter), bruxism or grinding can be corrected by injecting the muscle on either side. As a result, the injection causes the jaw to relax during the night, and symptoms such as migraines or pain disappear. <\/p>\n\n

Bruxism is also a disease of which patients are not always aware. Because they grind or clench their teeth during sleep (grinding), this leads to long-term migraines, jaw or neck pain, dental damage (cracks or premature wear) or gum problems.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
The positive effect of neuromodulators for bruxism and grinding lasts between 5 and 6 months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Masseter injection also has an eshthotic indication. This is because it reduces the volume of the muscle at the angle of your jawbone. This translates into a slimmer, more feminine face, also classically known as V-SHAPE. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The injection is very painless, and involves 3 injections into the fleshy part of the masseter muscle. To achieve this, you need 25 to 30 UNITS of BOTOX per side to have a significant and lasting effect on bruxism, grinding or migraines. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n
