Teeth grinding (bruxism) can be treated in several ways depending on the cause. These causes include stress, bite issues and sleep disorders. Some treatment options are: Custom-made bite splint : this is worn during sleeping; it protects the enamel from wear and reduces jaw muscle tension. Masseter (jaw) Botulinum Toxin Injections: this weakens the jaw muscle, reduces the clenching force and also slims the jaw cosmetically. Usually a short appointment with no downtime.
