Botulin for Bruxism
Aesthetic Medicine
Bruxism, which is the condition that causes the grinding of the teeth, can be corrected by modulating the muscle strength that governs the tight closure of the mouth.
The result is obvious, both in terms of posture (improving tension and associated pains) and in terms of dental wear and tear.
Even the shape of the face can be modified by this disorder. The masseter muscle, located in the lower part of the cheek near the mandibular angle, is responsible for tight jaw closure. Because of its constant use, it hypertrophies, increasing in volume and giving the face an unwanted effect of lateral and posterior enlargement with an often asymmetrical development.
A few injections can provide lasting correction of this damaging and often unnoticed defect.
