Bruxism is the involuntary clenching or grinding of the teeth. It can occur while you are awake or asleep and may contribute to jaw pain, headaches, facial muscle tension, tooth wear and sensitivity.

Botulinum injections are a minimally invasive aesthetic treatment designed to soften the appearance of fine lines and dynamic wrinkles caused by repeated facial expressions. The treatment works by temporarily relaxing targeted muscles, helping to create a smoother, refreshed and natural-looking appearance.

Botulinum toxin can be injected into selected jaw muscles involved in clenching, most commonly the masseter muscles. It works by temporarily reducing excessive muscle activity and may help relieve symptoms associated with jaw clenching and grinding.

The muscle-relaxing effect can begin within several days, with fuller effects generally developing over roughly 10–14 days. Botulinum toxin effects commonly last around three to four months, although individual results vary

It may reduce how forcefully the masseter muscles contract and can help some people with symptoms associated with bruxism or muscle-related jaw pain. It does not necessarily eliminate the underlying cause of grinding, and treatments such as a dental guard or physical therapy may also be appropriate.
