Masseter Botox for Bruxism
Do you unconsciously clench or grind your teeth – perhaps at night or during stressful times? This tension often goes unnoticed for a long time and can lead to pressure or tension in the jaw.
Often, the effects only become apparent at the dentist when wear or damage to the teeth is already visible.
