Bruxism / Teeth Grinding Treatment

Overactivity of the large jaw muscle (masseter)—particularly due to teeth grinding (bruxism)—can lead to coarsened and broad lower facial features. The treatment for bruxism involves injecting Botox® into the masseter muscle to decrease muscle tension and effectively reduce grinding.

A targeted injection of botulinum toxin into the jaw muscle not only addresses teeth grinding but also has a positive aesthetic impact on the cheek area and the jawline. By slimming the face, it helps achieve a desired V-shape, resulting in a more contoured jaw and chin area.

How long does Botox last for bruxism treatment?

The effects typically last between 3 and 6 months. Individual metabolism, muscle activity, and dosage all influence the duration.

Is Botox treatment for bruxism safe?

Yes—when performed by a medical specialist. At SCHÖNE HAUT in Berlin, Botox is injected exclusively by specialized physicians. Dr. Meike Schröder has over 20 years of experience and was one of the first practitioners to use these techniques in Germany.

How quickly does Botox work against bruxism?

Initial effects appear after 3 to 5 days, with the full results visible after 10 to 14 days.

How much does bruxism treatment cost at your practice?

Prices start at €99 and are individually calculated based on dosage.

Will I look unnatural after Botox for bruxism?

No. A natural result is achieved through precise dosing and anatomical expertise. “Puffy lips” or a “frozen forehead” are not a problem with Botox itself, but rather a result of poor application.
