Bruxism is a movement disorder of the rumen muscles that can occur during sleep (SBB) and awake bruxism (AB). This disorder usually consists in clenching and / or grinding of teeth in an uncontrolled way, which can lead to tooth damage, periodontal pain, it sometimes occurs due to emotional factors.

Long-term, untreated bruxism can lead to enlargement of rumen muscles, resulting in facial oval change.

The treatment involves the administration of the right amount of botulinum toxin with a thin needle in the rumen muscles.

• Someone from your surrounding can hear the grinding of your teeth at night
• You feel soreness of the jaw in the morning, after the night rest
• Your teeth or gums are aching in the morning
• You feel the clenching of your teeth or gnashing your teeth during the day

Injection of botulinum toxin to rumen muscle has two main purposes:

• Causes it to weaken and consequently reduces the degree of clenching, gnashing of teeth, which alleviates pain, discomfort and prevents tooth decay.

• In addition, weakening of the rumen muscle leads to a decrease of its mass and brings back face’s natural appearance.

You should massage the injection sites. It is contraindicated to consume alcohol on the day of the treatment and within 3 days after the treatment.
