Bruxism?

Overview

Bruxism is a condition that affects many people and consists of clenching or grinding teeth, generally unconsciously, both during the day and at night. This habit can lead to overload in the jaw muscles, causing headaches, tooth wear, and facial tension. At our Aesthetic Center, we offer effective treatments that help relieve muscle tension and prevent the consequences of bruxism.

Why do I have bruxism and how can it be eliminated?

• Stress and anxiety: These are common causes of bruxism. Facial muscles tense up and exert pressure on the jaw, leading to teeth grinding. Botox is an excellent option to relax these muscles and reduce pressure.
• Poor dental alignment: A misaligned bite can increase the risk of bruxism. While dental treatment is key in these cases, we complement it with therapies like radiofrequency with Accent Prime to reduce muscle tension.

What type of treatments exist to improve bruxism?

At our Aesthetic Center, we offer various solutions for the treatment of bruxism. These are some of the most effective:

• Botox: Helps relax the jaw muscles, reducing clenching and teeth grinding.
• Accent Prime Radiofrequency: We use this technique to relieve tension in facial muscles, improving the patient's quality of life.

Does bruxism worsen over time?

If left untreated, bruxism can worsen over time, causing more serious problems such as tooth wear, chronic jaw pain, and headaches. Treatments like Botox help prevent this damage by reducing the activity of the muscles that cause teeth grinding.

What types of bruxism are there?

• Daytime bruxism: Occurs during the day, generally as a response to stress or concentration.
• Nocturnal bruxism: Occurs during sleep and, in many cases, the patient is unaware of it until they begin to notice discomfort.

What results can I expect with the treatments you offer?

Patients who undergo bruxism treatments at our Aesthetic Center experience a significant reduction in muscle pain and the frequency of teeth grinding. Botox can provide relief for several months, while radiofrequency improves muscle health in the facial area. Each treatment is personalized to ensure the best possible results.
