Teeth grinding is a common yet often unnoticed habit that can lead to a myriad of issues, including a surprising side effect — a rounder facial appearance. 

Botox injections have emerged as a game-changer for teeth grinders. Unlike traditional mouth guards that act as barriers, Botox tackles the problem at its source by relaxing the muscles responsible for grinding. These injections effectively reduce the size and strength of these grinding muscles, providing relief from teeth grinding and addressing its unexpected aesthetic consequences.

Many teeth grinders are unaware of the compensatory actions their bodies take, which can lead to increased frown lines and a broader neck appearance. Recent research even suggests that teeth grinders often develop widened necks and necklines or bands as a result.

Botox injections into the masseter muscles are already known for their benefits, but there’s more to explore. Injections into the corners of the mouth, the chin, and the treatment of vertical neck bands can contribute to facial slimming and neck rejuvenation. A trusted professional like Dr. Wendel is essential to help you create a customized cosmetic treatment plan tailored to get the results you want.

Balancing the lower face is an art and a science, just as important as maintaining facial harmony in the upper regions. By addressing the root cause of teeth grinding and its related effects, you can achieve a harmonious, pain-free, and aesthetically pleasing result. Botox injections for teeth grinding offer not just relief, but the potential for a slimmer, more confident you. Schedule a consultation with Dr. J.J. Wendel today to guide you toward these transformative results.
