Teeth Grinding Treatment with Injection

Teeth Grinding Treatment with Injection

Teeth clenching treatment with injection is a treatment method that temporarily paralyzes the muscles in the injection area and prevents them from contracting, thus reducing teeth grinding due to contraction of the chewing muscle (masseter), headaches due to teeth clenching, jaw pain, breakage of teeth and prominence in the corners of the jaw.

How is injection therapy for teeth grinding applied?

The area to be treated is numbed with a local anesthetic cream beforehand. The treatment is applied by injecting into the muscle that becomes prominent with jaw clenching from 3-4 points. Within the first 24 hours after the procedure, it is advisable not to chew on very hard foods or massage the treated area.

When does the effect of injection therapy for teeth grinding start? How long does it last?

The effect of the treatment starts around the 3rd day and reaches its full effect by days 10-14. As the chewing muscle is used less, the muscle shrinks, and the angular appearance of the jaw 

becomes softer, taking on a more rounded appearance. The immobility of the muscle gradually decreases within 5-6 months and returns to normal. Since the effect of the treatment completely disappears after six months, there is no permanent damage to the muscles.

Who should not undergo injection therapy for teeth grinding? Can it be done in the summer?

Injection therapy for teeth grinding should not be performed during pregnancy, breastfeeding, or in the presence of certain neurological conditions. Since it does not create sensitivity to the sun, it can be done year-round.
