Jaw Clenching & Teeth Grinding Treatment in South London
Introduction
Do you wake up with jaw pain, headaches, or tightness in your face? You may be experiencing bruxism — a condition involving jaw clenching or teeth grinding, often during sleep.
At Dr Mirali Aesthetics, we provide doctor-led treatment using masseter Botox, helping patients relieve pain, protect their teeth, and improve jaw tension.
We regularly see patients referred by dentists across Streatham, Sydenham, Forest Hill, Balham, Crystal Palace, Dulwich, Clapham and wider South London.
What Is Jaw Clenching (Bruxism)?
Bruxism is a condition where you:
- Clench your jaw unconsciously
- Grind your teeth, often at night
- Experience tightness in the jaw muscles
- Develop headaches or facial pain
Over time, this can lead to:
- Tooth wear and damage
- TMJ (jaw joint) problems
- Facial discomfort
- Enlarged jaw muscles
Why Dentists Recommend Masseter Botox
Dentists often refer patients for masseter Botox treatment because it addresses the root cause — overactive jaw muscles.
Masseter Botox works by:
- Relaxing the jaw muscles
- Reducing clenching and grinding
- Relieving pressure on teeth and joints
- Preventing further dental damage
Unlike mouth guards alone, Botox reduces the strength of the muscle itself, offering longer-term relief.
