Tooth Grinding & Jaw Clenching

Bruxism is the medical term used to describe unconscious tooth grinding or clenching while awake or asleep. Teeth grinding can impact the enamel of the teeth, as well as the muscles of the jaw and face. Chronic bruxism can lead to recurring headaches, facial pain and migraines.

Facial fillers help reduce tooth grinding and jaw clenching. This relieves the associated pain and discomfort. This treatment may be used in combination with a special night guard.

A small amount of filler is inserted in the sides of the face. The muscle relaxes, which helps control the involuntary grinding of the teeth and clenching of the jaw. Voluntary movements, i.e. chewing and facial expressions, are not affected by the treatment.

Results start being felt approximately 4 weeks after the injections, with the final result seen at 6-8 weeks. Results can last for up to 6-8 months.

Tension headaches/ Migraines

Clenching and grinding of the jaw muscles, as well as tensing the muscles of the neck and shoulders can often lead to tension headaches and in some cases migraines.

Facial fillers relieve the tension in these muscles, often reducing the frequency and severity of tension headaches and migraines.

Gummy Smile

A gummy smile is seen when a lot of gum shows above the upper teeth. This is due to the underlying bone or over activity of the upper lip. Placing filler in the upper lip helps to improve the appearance of the smile.
