Teeth grinding is something many of us do, sometimes unknowingly. Over time this can cause the muscles in the jaw to strengthen, giving a bulky, disproportionate appearance. In others excessive teeth grinding or clenching can often result in tension building in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) causing ear pain and tension headaches. Using BOTOX®, we can relax the pivotal muscles in the jaw providing a slimming effect.
