Bruxism treatment in Cheese Dental

We will relieve you of pain, grinding, and grinding your teeth — easily, safely, and without discomfort.

Bruxism

It is the involuntary clenching of the jaw and grinding of the teeth, most often during sleep or under stress. Over time, it leads to tooth wear, jaw pain, headaches, facial muscle tension, and overload of the temporomandibular joint. Without treatment, bruxism can significantly complicate orthopedic and orthodontic treatment.

Methods of treatment of bruxism in our clinic:
1. Botulinum therapy (botox for bruxism)
This is a modern and one of the most effective methods of treatment of bruxism. The drug is injected into the chewing muscles (m. masseter, if necessary - m. temporalis), reducing their excessive activity. As a result, night grinding disappears, pain decreases, the jaw relaxes and active grinding of the teeth stops.

2. Treatment with individual caps
Caps are made individually and protect the teeth from grinding during sleep. They do not eliminate the cause of bruxism, but are an effective protective method, especially in mild forms or as an addition to botulinum therapy.

How is bruxism treated with botulinum therapy?

01

Doctor's consultation

Treatment begins with a consultation with a dentist with higher medical education. The doctor assesses the complaints, the degree of jaw clenching, tooth abrasion, tension of the masticatory muscles, if necessary, analyzes the bite and the condition of the temporomandibular joint. The feasibility of botulinum therapy and the amount of the drug are determined.

02

Preparing for the procedure

2. Preparation for the procedure
No special preparation or tests are required in most cases. The procedure is safe and is performed on an outpatient basis. In the absence of contraindications, treatment is possible on the day of the consultation.

03

Drug administration (first session)

Botulinum toxin is injected into the masseter muscle (m. masseter), and if indicated, also into the temporal muscle (m. temporalis). The doctor works pointwise, injecting the drug into the center and key areas of the muscles responsible for excessive contraction. The procedure does not take long and is well tolerated.

04

Period of validity and evaluation of the result

The patient feels the first changes after 5–7 days, and the full effect is formed within 10–14 days. Tension decreases, grinding disappears, pain is relieved and active grinding of the teeth stops.

05

Check-up visit and correction

A follow-up examination is performed after 10–14 days. If necessary, the doctor may perform additional correction or inject a small amount of the drug to achieve optimal results.

06

Duration of effect

The results of botulinum therapy for bruxism last for an average of 4–6 months. After that, the procedure can be safely repeated on the recommendation of a doctor.

About the doctor: More than 20 years ago, I graduated from medical university and began my career as a dentist. After many years of clinical practice, I consciously transitioned into cosmetology — a decision I have never regretted. Today, I truly enjoy my profession and feel inspired by the results we achieve. I specialize in bruxism treatment, botulinum therapy, wrinkle correction, lip augmentation and contouring. I also perform laser rejuvenation and laser peeling, treating fine lines, scars, and post-acne marks. In my practice, I work with the advanced Doctor Smile erbium laser, available exclusively in our clinic and unique in Odesa. This technology allows for effective yet gentle aesthetic treatments. A key part of my work is close collaboration with dentists. In our clinic, patients can enhance their beauty comprehensively — both facial aesthetics and oral health. During full-mouth rehabilitation, prosthetic treatment, or cases of increased tooth wear, bruxism management is essential. That is why botulinum therapy must be performed by a medically trained specialist working hand in hand with dental professionals. I will be happy to guide you through this process safely, comfortably, and beautifully.

Patient stories

Vladislav

Vladislav is undergoing aligner treatment at our clinic and consciously chose aligners over braces. He lives in another country and travels a lot, so comfort and flexibility were key factors for him. Aligners offer an aesthetic, almost invisible solution and allow easy remote monitoring during treatment.

Lyudmila

Lyudmila initially had a "deplorable" situation and she planned to "live out" with such teeth. But one day, instead of living out, she chose to LIVE AND SMILE. And she loves to smile - she tells such anecdotes that it is impossible not to laugh😀 We followed the plan: first, sanitation, removed cysts and inflammation, performed implantation and removal of old implants, and at the finish line, complete restoration with zirconium dioxide crowns. The result is delight! +1000 to youth and self-confidence!

    An individual mouthguard protects teeth from abrasion, but does not eliminate the cause of bruxism. It does not relax the muscles, but only minimizes the consequences. Therefore, with severe bruxism, mouthguards are most often used in combination with botulinum therapy.
    The mouthguard is usually worn while sleeping. Adaptation takes from several days to 1–2 weeks. Mouthguards are made individually, so they are comfortable and do not interfere with sleep or diction.
    Yes, but in a positive way. By relaxing overactive chewing muscles, the face can look softer and more harmonious. Facial expressions and chewing are preserved.
    The effect lasts an average of 4–6 months. After that, the procedure can be repeated. Regular treatment allows you to control bruxism and protect your teeth and orthopedic structures.
    Yes, bruxism treatment is a mandatory step before orthodontic or orthopedic treatment. Uncontrolled jaw clenching and teeth grinding can lead to joint overload, enamel abrasion, damage to braces, aligners, veneers and crowns. That is why in our clinic, bruxism treatment is often part of a comprehensive dental approach that allows you to protect the result of orthodontic and orthopedic treatment and ensure its long-term stability.

    Comprehensive dental treatment: orthodontics, orthopedics and bruxism

    Modern dentistry has long gone beyond individual procedures. To obtain a stable, long-lasting and aesthetically correct result, treatment must be comprehensive. This is especially true in cases where the patient is planning orthodontic or orthopedic treatment and at the same time has bruxism.

    Bruxism is uncontrolled clenching of the jaws and grinding of the teeth, which often goes unnoticed. But it can cause tooth wear, joint overload, pain, as well as damage to braces, aligners, veneers and crowns. Therefore, in the modern approach, bruxism is never treated separately – it is considered as part of the patient’s overall dental condition.

    During orthodontic treatment (braces, aligners), it is important that the chewing muscles and joints work stably. Active bruxism can slow down the movement of the teeth, cause discomfort and negatively affect the result. In such cases, bruxism treatment helps relieve muscle tension and create the right conditions for bite correction.

    Even more critical is bruxism before orthopedic treatment – the installation of veneers, crowns or complete dentures. Without control of chewing pressure, even the highest quality designs can be overloaded. That is why bruxism treatment is often a mandatory preparatory stage before prosthetics in order to preserve a new smile for years.

    In our clinic, we work as a team. An orthodontist, an orthopedist and a doctor who treats bruxism jointly plan treatment, taking into account the bite, the condition of the muscles, joints and the future result. Modern methods are used to control bruxism – individual mouthguards or botulinum therapy, depending on the clinical situation.

    Such a comprehensive approach allows not only to align the teeth or restore their shape, but also to ensure functional stability, comfort and long-term results. This is how a correct, healthy, and harmonious smile is formed — without overload and the risk of complications in the future.
