Botox is a versatile treatment used in aesthetic medicine to relax muscles, commonly known for treating expression lines. However, Botox is also highly effective in treating bruxism (teeth grinding) by relaxing the jaw muscles responsible for this condition. Dr. Lyor Hanan offers Botox injections in Dubai for jaw tension and bruxism, helping patients reduce the discomfort and long-term dental impact of this condition.

Bruxism is a condition involving jaw clenching or teeth grinding, which can occur during the day or at night. It can lead to jaw pain, headaches, and dental damage over time. Commonly triggered by stress, anxiety, or conditions such as sleep apnea, bruxism can be classified into two types:
Clenching the teeth.
Grinding the teeth.
While bruxism can affect people of all ages, it is particularly common among young adults and working professionals, often due to stress-related triggers.
Botox is one of the most effective treatments for managing bruxism. By injecting Botox into the jaw muscles, the treatment reduces muscle activity, allowing the jaw to relax and significantly decreasing teeth grinding and clenching. Patients often experience a reduction in headaches, jaw pain, and dental sensitivity, leading to overall improved quality of life.
The Botox injection procedure for bruxism is straightforward:
Dr. Lyor Hanan cleans the skin and prepares the jaw area for treatment.
Botox is administered directly into the jaw muscles responsible for bruxism. The procedure only takes a few minutes, and patients can resume normal activities immediately.
A follow-up with Dr. Lyor Hanan is scheduled after seven days to evaluate the effectiveness and perform any necessary touch-ups.
Results from Botox injections for bruxism appear within a few days, with full effects lasting between three to six months. Follow-up sessions can help maintain these results, allowing for continued relief from symptoms. Botox for bruxism has minimal side effects and is well-tolerated by most patients.
Count between 350 and 500 euros for a botox injection session on the jaw to treat your bruxism.
