Eliminate pain and protect your teeth with advanced therapies for teeth grinding and jaw tension
Book your appointmentBruxism or nighttime teeth grinding is an increasingly common disorder that can cause severe dental wear, facial muscle pain, chronic headaches, and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders.
At IVLU, we address bruxism with a comprehensive medical approach, using precise application of botulinum toxin (Dysport/Xeomin) in the masseter and temporal muscles to relax hyperactive musculature. This treatment can offer excellent results and, when combined with complementary therapies, can achieve additional benefits to reduce dental damage and relieve chronic pain.
Request Detailed InformationBotulinum toxin treatment for bruxism relaxes hyperactive chewing muscles, relieving pain, preventing dental wear, and providing aesthetic benefits by refining the jawline without affecting normal muscle functionality.
01Avoid chewing hard foods during the first 48 hours to allow the toxin to properly bind to the treated muscles.
02Results begin to appear within 3-7 days, with full effect at 14 days. Pain relief is the first benefit, followed by reduced muscle tension.
03Continue using your night guard (if you have one) to protect your teeth and enhance the treatment's effectiveness.
04It's normal to feel sensitivity at injection sites during the first 24 hours. Temporary smile asymmetry may appear but disappears within a few days.
05Effects last 4 to 6 months, and a maintenance program is recommended based on your individual response.

We'll analyze your specific case, the intensity of your bruxism, and design a comprehensive protocol combining botulinum toxin with complementary therapies, ensuring optimal and lasting results for your oral health and overall wellbeing.
