Botox Injections For Clenching (Bruxism)

Jaw clenching, which is also known as bruxism, is a condition that a lot of people suffer from. Herein they have facial pain caused by the excessive muscle activity that causes wear on their teeth.



While the normal treatments include splints and medication, neither are very effective. This is where Botox comes in. It can be injected into the sorest muscle to weaken the place where the most spasms are occurring.

For most people this works well because the muscle stops spasming, resulting in less pain since you will be doing less clenching.

Botox For Wrinkles

Botox is a cosmetic injection that is normally used around the forehead, eyes, and mouth areas of the face to reduce the appearance of lines or wrinkles.



At times, the injections are painful; leaving sensitive skin areas around the injection points, bruises, or other unwanted results after the procedure is completed.

Some people are also have a natural immunity to the Botox solution so that more than one set of injections must be performed over a series of weeks before results are seen.

Facial Exercise or Botox

Botox injections have become the fountain of youth for some people experiencing the effects of the aging process. Millions of people have regular injections to keep their facial muscle paralyzed to eliminate facial wrinkles and lines.

When Botox is used on a regular basis the muscle begin to weaken over time, because the cells in the muscle tissue can not regenerate in a paralyzed state.

Isometric and resistant exercises have the same effect on wrinkles and facial lines as Botox. Exercise makes muscle tissue stronger so cells regenerate naturally.

Paralysis weakens facial muscles, exercise strengthens them. Facial lines and wrinkles are reduced and the muscles function normally.
