Safe anti-ageing injections performed by dentists
In recent years, anti-ageing injections have been used in a wide range of fields in the medical world, although they are most often used in the field of beauty.
In the cosmetic world, it is famous for its use in wrinkle removal, but in dentistry, it is an effective treatment for clenching and grinding of the teeth due to its muscle-relaxing action.
The muscles around the jaw (masseter muscles) are largely responsible for strong biting.
To reduce the force of biting, it is necessary to relax the masseter muscles, but as the act of ‘biting’ is done unconsciously, it cannot be weakened by itself.
Anti-wrinkle injections into the masseter muscle are recommended.
Many people believe that a mouth guard will cure the problem, but a mouth guard only protects the teeth.
Anti-wrinkle injections help to relieve tension and pain in the jaw.
By relaxing the muscles that unconsciously create such stress, headaches, teeth grinding and lockjaw can be eliminated. This will tighten the jaw muscles and prevent the jaw from appearing wide.
Do you have any of these problems?
- Stiff neck, stiff shoulders and migraines
- Inability to sleep soundly (tiredness and jaw fatigue on waking)
- Development of TMJ disorder due to excessive strain on the jaw joint
- Chipped or broken teeth possible

- Fillings and caps are more likely to come off
- Gills and face enlargement (masseter muscle development)
- Headaches and stiff shoulders
- Wear of the teeth
- Progressive periodontal disease
Teeth grinding and clenching can destroy teeth and cause a variety of physical problems, so it may be necessary to resolve the problem as soon as possible instead of leaving it untreated.

Treatment process
Dr.Joyce will be in charge!
1. A consultation is carried out to check the patient’s concerns, chewing ability and mouth.
2. Injections are made in the area of concern. Usually takes 15 minutes, or 40 minutes if surface anaesthesia is used.
3. After treatment, regular check-ups and aftercare are carried out. The effect lasts for 3 to 6 months but is more lasting with regular injections.
Other treatments for grinding and clenching
Mouthpiece
Mouthpiece (night guard).
Adult teeth grinding puts a lot of strain on the teeth and jaw joints, so wearing a mouthpiece can help reduce the strain caused by teeth grinding and clenching.
Orthodontic treatment
If the cause of grinding or clenching is the alignment of the teeth, orthodontic treatment may be able to correct the problem.
Orthodontic treatment can help to improve teeth alignment, which allows you to chew in a balanced manner, which in turn improves your teeth grinding and clenching.
It is recommended to consult a dentist as soon as possible before teeth are cracked or chipped due to grinding or clenching.
When doing so, also discuss with your dentist that you have a habit of grinding or clenching your teeth.
