Teeth Grinding & Jaw Clenching Treatment

Bruxism &
Facial Tension Relief

At Dermatology Clinics Australia, we offer advanced, dermatologist-led treatment options for teeth grinding (bruxism) and jaw clenching-conditions that can lead to facial pain, tension headaches, worn teeth, and jawline changes. Our aesthetic and medical expertise allows us to treat not only the symptoms but also the functional and cosmetic impacts of chronic jaw tension.

Expert Care for Jaw Tension & Bruxism

Our clinic provides non-surgical treatment options including wrinkle injections for the masseter muscle, combined with facial contouring and skin-tightening support if required. We address the root cause while also improving jawline harmony and reducing the long-term strain placed on facial muscles and joints.

What Causes Teeth Grinding & Jaw Clenching?

Bruxism is often triggered by stress, anxiety, poor bite alignment, or sleep-related issues. Over time, repetitive grinding or clenching places strain on the masseter and temporalis muscles, leading to jaw tension, headaches, dental damage, and even facial shape changes.

Our expert dermatologists identify contributing factors and provide injectable solutions to reduce muscle overactivity, protect teeth, and improve facial comfort and appearance.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do wrinkle injections help with teeth grinding?

They relax the overactive masseter muscles responsible for clenching and grinding, relieving pain and protecting teeth.

Is treatment painful?

The procedure is quick and well-tolerated, often described as a small pinch. There is little to no downtime.

How long do results last?

Effects typically last 3–6 months, depending on muscle activity and lifestyle factors. Repeat sessions are recommended for ongoing relief.

Will it change my face shape?

In some cases, relaxing the masseter muscle can slim a bulky or square jawline, enhancing lower face aesthetics.

Can I combine this with other treatments?

Yes. Jawline contouring, skin tightening, or facial harmonisation can be integrated into your treatment plan.
