Bruxism
What Does the Treatment Consist Of?
Our bruxism treatment involves the injection of small doses of botulinum toxin into the masseter muscles, which are responsible for jaw movement and clenching. This relaxes the muscles, reduces excessive activity, and alleviates the symptoms of bruxism such as jaw tension, teeth grinding, and associated discomfort. The treatment is carried out exclusively by specialist doctors to ensure safety and effectiveness.
What Is the Treatment Like?
The session is quick and minimally invasive, lasting between 15 and 30 minutes. During the procedure, our specialist will precisely administer botulinum toxin to the masseter muscles. This targeted approach reduces muscle activity while maintaining natural jaw function. A follow-up appointment is typically scheduled two weeks after the initial session to ensure optimal results and make any necessary adjustments at no additional cost.

What is botulinum toxin?
Botulinum toxin is a purified protein that temporarily relaxes specific muscles by blocking nerve signals. Unlike fillers, which add volume to enhance facial features, botulinum toxin works by reducing muscle activity to alleviate issues such as bruxism and wrinkles. At Santé, we use Azzalure®, a premium and highly effective botulinum toxin known for its precision and safety.
Is bruxism treatment painful?
The treatment is generally well-tolerated. Some patients may experience mild discomfort, but it is not considered painful.
Does bruxism treatment have side effects?
Potential side effects include temporary tenderness or discomfort at the injection site, which usually resolves within a few days.
Is it safe to perform bruxism treatment?
Yes, the treatment is safe when performed by our highly qualified specialist doctors using Azzalure®, a premium botulinum toxin product known for its safety and efficacy.
How long do the results of bruxism treatment last?
The effects of the treatment typically last between 4 to 6 months. Regular maintenance sessions can help sustain the results.
What should I take into account before the bruxism treatment session?
While no special preparation is required, it’s important to inform your doctor about any medications you are taking or medical conditions you may have.
What post-treatment care is required for bruxism treatment?
Avoid activities that place strain on the jaw and refrain from massaging the treated area for at least 24 hours. Follow all care instructions provided by your doctor.
