What is the Jaw Pain, Clenching & TMJ Treatment?

Chronic jaw pain, teeth clenching (bruxism), and Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMJ) symptoms are often caused by the overuse and hypertrophy (enlargement) of the powerful Masseter muscles—the muscles responsible for chewing. This treatment uses Anti-Wrinkle Injections (Neurotoxins) to safely and effectively relax these overactive muscles.

By relaxing the Masseter muscles, the injections reduce the involuntary force applied during clenching and grinding, which alleviates pain, prevents damage to the teeth and jaw joint, and can also lead to a noticeable slimming and contouring of the lower face.

How Can This Treatment Benefit You?

This therapeutic procedure offers significant functional relief and aesthetic refinement:

• Alleviates Jaw Pain: Reduces the chronic tension, soreness, and aching associated with Masseter muscle overuse and TMJ.

• Stops Teeth Grinding (Bruxism): Significantly reduces involuntary clenching, protecting teeth from excessive wear and dental damage.

• Reduces Tension Headaches: Often relieves tension headaches that originate from jaw clenching and muscle strain.

• Slims the Jawline (Aesthetic Benefit): As the Masseter muscles relax and soften, they gradually atrophy (shrink) over time, resulting in a more sculpted, V-shaped contour to the lower face.

• Non-Surgical Relief: Provides effective, long-lasting relief without the need for invasive procedures or nighttime mouthguards alone.

The Nurse Reine Specialized Process:

Nurse Reine’s therapeutic approach ensures targeted relief and balanced contouring:

• Detailed Assessment: Reine conducts a thorough physical assessment of the Masseter muscles, feeling for hypertrophy and tenderness to determine the optimal injection sites and dosage required for functional relief.

• Precise Deep Injection: The neurotoxin is injected directly into the belly of the Masseter muscle using a conservative, calculated approach to weaken the muscle’s clenching power without affecting chewing ability.

• Focus on Function and Form: The treatment is balanced to provide maximal pain relief while also addressing the aesthetic goal of achieving a softer, more contoured jawline if desired.
