Botox for Jaw Clenching at Yeongjong Central Dermatology Clinic, Incheon
Relieve Tension, Protect Your Teeth, and Restore Facial Comfort
Botox for jaw clenching is a therapeutic treatment that relaxes the overactive masseter muscles responsible for teeth grinding and jaw tension, also known as bruxism. At Yeongjong Central Dermatology Clinic, we provide precision Botox injections to relieve pain, prevent dental damage, and slim the jawline—all without surgery or downtime.
Understanding Botox for Jaw Clenching (Bruxism)
Jaw clenching and teeth grinding often occur unconsciously during sleep or periods of stress. Over time, this can lead to muscle hypertrophy, facial pain, worn teeth, and tension headaches. Botox (botulinum toxin type A) works by weakening the masseter muscles, helping to:
- Reduce unconscious clenching and nighttime teeth grinding
- Alleviate jaw tension, soreness, and tightness
- Prevent further dental wear and enamel damage
- Relieve associated tension headaches or ear pain
- Slim the lower face and create a more V-shaped jawline as a bonus benefit
This non-invasive approach is ideal for patients who have not responded to nightguards or other conservative treatments.
Consultation & Diagnosis at Yeongjong Central
During your consultation, our dermatologist will assess:
- Size and strength of the masseter muscles
- Jaw movement patterns, pain points, and clenching severity
- Signs of tooth damage or temporomandibular joint (TMJ) involvement
- Suitability for Botox vs. oral devices, medications, or physiotherapy
An injection plan will be tailored based on your symptoms, anatomy, and desired cosmetic and functional outcomes.
Treatment Options Available
- Standard Masseter Botox for Bruxism
Botox is injected directly into the masseter muscles on both sides to reduce involuntary clenching, easing tension and preventing further damage. - High-Dose Botox for Severe Clenchers
For patients with very strong jaw muscles or advanced bruxism, a higher dose may be recommended to achieve optimal muscle relaxation. - Combination with TMJ or Temple Botox
If pain extends to the temporalis or jaw joints, additional injections can provide full relief from tension and reduce headaches. - Jaw Clenching + Facial Slimming
In addition to therapeutic benefits, Botox can reduce muscle bulk in the jawline, creating a softer, more feminine V-line contour. - Maintenance Botox for Long-Term Relief
Regular treatments every 4–6 months help prevent recurrence of clenching and maintain both pain relief and cosmetic effects.
