Targeted Treatments for Your Teeth

If you are suffering from teeth grinding or bruxism, injectable treatments may be the solution for you. Targeted injections can help relax your facial muscles and prevent the urge to grind your teeth. This can provide much-needed relief from this condition which affects many individuals.

At Palm Beach Currumbin Injectables on the Gold Coast, we offer safe and effective treatments for teeth grinding. The main reason patients request this procedure is for associated symptoms like jaw pain, headaches or teeth damage caused by grinding, usually at night.

Botox is injected into the chewing muscles of the jaw. This procedure also has an added bonus; as the muscle is relaxed it also reduces its size, allowing for improved facial features (slimming). This procedure takes about six weeks before you will see the difference, with results lasting typically around six months. Our technicians use precision techniques to deliver the injections with minimal discomfort.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is TMJ dysfunction?

Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction is a disorder of the jaw joint that affects how you chew, speak and sleep. It can cause pain in the face, jaw, neck and shoulders as well as clicking or popping sounds when opening and closing your mouth. The exact cause of TMJ dysfunction is unknown, but it is believed to be due to a combination of factors such as genetics, trauma, stress and teeth grinding. If you are experiencing symptoms of TMJ disorder and suspect it may be due to teeth grinding, injections may help manage the pain and discomfort associated with this condition.
Why do I grind my teeth at night?

Teeth grinding is often caused by stress and anxiety and can be worsened by sleep disorders such as obstructive sleep apnoea. Some people may also grind their teeth due to misalignment of the jaw or an abnormal bite. It is important to talk to your doctor or dentist about any underlying issues that may be causing your teeth grinding so you can get the proper treatment.
What is bruxism?

Bruxism is a term used to describe excessive grinding of the teeth or clenching of the jaw. It can occur during the day or at night and typically happens when someone is feeling stressed or anxious. Over time, this habit can lead to permanent damage to your teeth and cause other problems such as headaches, facial pain and TMJ disorder.
How long do your treatments for teeth grinding last?

The duration of the results depends on several factors such as the severity of your condition and other individual factors. Generally, the effects of Botox injections for teeth grinding typically last around six months. After this time, you may need to have additional treatments in order to maintain your results.
