Bruxism treatment offered by the Apogee Clinic

• The power of Botox

Did you know that botulinum toxin was not only indicated in anti-wrinkle treatments? Botox has a relaxing effect on muscles. It can thus temporarily stop the nerve messages sent to the masseter muscle, which is involved in clenching teeth. Our aesthetic doctors therefore offer you a treatment based on Botox injections.

• The course of a session for Bruxism

Our practitioner starts by preparing the jaw area by cleaning and disinfecting it. He then applies an anesthetic cream for your comfort. Then he injects small amounts of Botox into the masseter muscle.

This treatment of Bruxism is thus carried out in a few minutes, in the refined premises of the Apogee Clinic. Painless, it does not affect your chewing in any way. In addition, you can return to your usual activities as soon as you leave the establishment.

In a few consultations, patients treated in this way see a significant reduction in their grinding of teeth and associated pain.

As for botulinum toxin, it is absorbed naturally by the body. Its effects remain long-lasting, depending on the number of sessions you do.

Symptoms/Indications

Bruxism is manifested by involuntary clenching movements in the jaw. They cause significant teeth grinding.

Although it is more frequent during the night, it is also characterized by mandibular tension during the day. Bruxism can also cause headaches as well as neck pain.

Some patients are not aware of it and it is their partners, woken up by the grinding of their teeth, that mean to them. Others have pain as soon as they wake up.

Even if Bruxism is mild, uncontrollable and repeated muscle contractions can be painful to bear. It is also responsible for long-term wear and tear on the teeth. As for sleep disorders, they are as harmful for the person concerned as for those around them.

Causes

In addition to certain genetic predisposition, it remains difficult today to identify a precise cause of Bruxism. However, there are many factors that can induce its appearance:

Bruxism often occurs when there is a problem with sleep. The repeated awakenings caused by sleep apnea induce, for example, significant mandibular tension. They result in teeth grinding.

Stress, like anxiety, favors the tightening of the teeth that is characteristic of Bruxism.

Some jaw imbalances are also implicated. All it takes is poor dental alignment for this problem to appear. Moreover, children are concerned, even if Bruxism is still more common in adults between 25 and 45 years of age.

Fortunately, aesthetic medicine has an innovative treatment to offer you to combat Bruxism. The experts at the Apogee Clinic offer you their medical know-how and their cutting-edge technical platform, to put an end to this annoying squeak.

How is the management of Bruxism carried out at the Apogee Clinic?

The doctor receives you, first of all, for a first consultation in our refined and private places. He makes a precise diagnosis and assesses your degree of Bruxism.

Is this treatment for Bruxism suitable for pregnant women?

No, Botox injections are contraindicated for pregnant women. We are also waiting for the end of breastfeeding to start this treatment for Bruxism.

How many appointments should you schedule to end Bruxism?

On average, the effects of this treatment last between 4 and 6 months. Your doctor includes maintenance sessions as part of their personalized care plan. It is, in fact, advisable to perform Botox injections regularly, especially when you are at the beginning of treatment.

Are there other therapies and why Botox?

Other therapies exist to treat Bruxism: Orthodontics makes it possible to get rid of Bruxism, if it is due to poor dental alignment. Wearing an occlusal splint is often recommended by the medical profession. It offers optimal protection to the teeth, but it does not change the Bruxism itself in any way. Relaxation can also limit stress, in cases where anxiety is linked to teeth grinding. Botulinum toxin remains a fast and painless non-invasive solution. It allows you to do without wearing an occlusal plate and to regain the quality of sleep you had before grinding your teeth.
