Botox injections into the masseter muscle

Effective relief for bruxism, jaw problems, and CMD

In modern dentistry, Botox is injected directly into the masseter muscle to reduce its excessive activity. This method can effectively alleviate symptoms such as nighttime teeth grinding, jaw pain, migraines, and symptoms of craniomandibular dysfunction (CMD). In addition, relaxation of the masticatory muscle leads to a visual narrowing of the facial contour. It is crucial that the treatment is performed by a dentist with appropriate specialization in functional disorders.
