Bruxism, often a concealed condition, can significantly impact your life. At Thames Aesthetics, we understand the challenges posed by bruxism, commonly known as teeth grinding. Beyond affecting dental health, bruxism can lead to chronic pain and even alter facial aesthetics. In this extensive guide, we'll delve into the nature of bruxism, show how Botox® can provide relief, share real-life success stories, and direct you to our specialised treatments for a deeper understanding.
Understanding Bruxism and Its Impact
Bruxism, the medical term for teeth grinding and jaw clenching, is often a nocturnal habit, making it hard to detect. Symptoms include jaw pain, headaches, and excessive wear on teeth, which can lead to significant dental issues and even alter the facial structure due to muscle hypertrophy.

The Surprising Role of Botox® in Treating Bruxism
Botox®, widely recognized for its aesthetic applications, has proven effective in managing bruxism. Injecting small amounts of Botox® into the masseter muscle, the primary muscle involved in chewing, reduces its strength. This alleviation of muscle activity helps ease the symptoms of grinding and clenching, offering pain relief and preventing further dental damage.
Real-Life Success Stories
Numerous clients at Thames Aesthetics have experienced considerable relief from bruxism symptoms following Botox® treatments. These success stories underscore the efficacy of Botox® in enhancing quality of life, reducing pain, and preventing additional dental issues.

The Dual Benefits of Botox® for Bruxism
Botox® injections offer dual benefits for bruxism sufferers. Not only do they alleviate the symptoms, but they can also subtly change facial aesthetics. For those with enlarged masseter muscles, Botox® can result in a more refined jawline, making it a popular choice for those seeking both functional and aesthetic improvements.
