Teeth Grinding / TMJ Dysfunction (Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction)

At Sun and Skin Medical Centre in Mt. Eliza, Victoria, we offer injectables for teeth grinding, providing an effective, non-surgical solution for managing bruxism. If teeth grinding is causing discomfort, jaw pain, teeth chipping or other dental issues, our experienced team can help you find relief through targeted treatments that relax overactive jaw muscles.

Bruxism is a condition characterized by involuntary grinding or clenching of the teeth, often during sleep or periods of stress. This condition can lead to:

• Jaw pain and tension
• Chronic headaches
• Damage to teeth and dental work
• Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders

Injectables offer a safe and effective way to address bruxism by targeting the root cause: overactive jaw muscles.

Injectables for bruxism use a specialized medication to relax the masseter muscles (the jaw muscles responsible for clenching and grinding). Here’s how they work:

1. Muscle Relaxation: The injectable reduces the strength of the jaw muscles, alleviating tension and grinding.
2. Targeted Application: Injections are placed precisely in the masseter muscles for maximum effectiveness.
3. Long-Lasting Relief: Results typically last 3-6 months, depending on the individual.

Injectables provide a minimally invasive and effective approach to managing bruxism:

• Pain Relief: Reduces jaw tension, headaches, and discomfort.
• Protects Teeth: Minimizes wear and tear on teeth caused by grinding.
• Non-Surgical Solution: No need for invasive procedures or recovery time.
• Improved Facial Appearance: Helps slim the jawline by reducing the size of overworked masseter muscles.
• Stress-Free Sleep: Reduces nighttime grinding for more restful sleep.
• Other medical treatments can be provided at the same time if needed.

At Sun and Skin Medical Centre, we ensure your comfort and satisfaction throughout the process:

1. Consultation: Our specialists assess your symptoms and determine if injectables are right for you.
2. Treatment Plan: A personalized approach tailored to your needs and goals.
3. Injection Procedure: The treatment is quick, usually lasting 15-30 minutes, with minimal discomfort.
4. Follow-Up: We monitor your progress to ensure optimal results and make adjustments if needed.
