TEETH GRINDING TREATMENT
Relieve jaw tension, headaches and teeth grinding with Botox treatment for bruxism
If you wake with jaw ache, headaches or a tight, tired feeling in your face, teeth grinding or jaw clenching may be the cause. Many people live with this tension for years without realising there is a treatment that can help.
Teeth grinding and jaw clenching, known medically as bruxism, often happens without you realising, particularly during sleep or periods of stress. Over time, this constant muscle activity can lead to jaw pain, headaches, worn teeth and tension through the face and neck.
At Beyoo Medical Aesthetics in Lancaster, we treat bruxism by relaxing the overactive masseter muscles with anti-wrinkle injections. This reduces excessive clenching while preserving normal chewing, speech and facial expression.
Book your consultation in Lancaster to assess your symptoms and see whether bruxism treatment is right for you.
Why patients seek help
Many patients come to us after struggling with symptoms for months or even years. Some are referred by their dentist, while others are simply looking for relief from constant jaw tension.
Common symptoms include:
- Jaw pain or tightness, especially on waking
- Frequent headaches or migraines
- Clicking, stiffness or discomfort in the jaw
- Worn, chipped or sensitive teeth
- A widened or square appearance to the lower face
- Tension or fatigue when eating or speaking
Patients often describe feeling a constant heaviness in the jaw that improves significantly once the muscles are relaxed.
If jaw tension is affecting your comfort or sleep, book a consultation and we will talk through your symptoms and treatment options.
What causes teeth grinding
Bruxism can develop for a number of reasons:
- Stress and anxiety, which commonly trigger unconscious clenching
- Sleep disturbances, where grinding occurs during lighter sleep phases
- Bite alignment or dental factors that increase muscle activity
- Habit and muscle overuse, leading to enlarged masseter muscles
Regardless of the trigger, reducing overactivity in the jaw muscles can provide both functional relief and a softer, more balanced facial contour.
Treatment options at Beyoo
Anti-Wrinkle Injections for Bruxism
Performed by our nurse prescriber, small, precise doses of anti-wrinkle product are injected into the masseter muscles on each side of the jaw. These muscles are responsible for chewing and clenching and can become overworked in people who grind their teeth.
By relaxing these muscles, treatment can:
- Reduce teeth grinding and jaw clenching
- Relieve jaw pain and facial tension
- Improve headaches associated with bruxism
- Protect teeth from further wear
- Soften a bulky or square lower-face appearance
- Treatment time: around 20 minutes
- Downtime: none
- Results: begin within 1 to 2 weeks and last around 3 to 4 months
This treatment does not affect normal chewing or speaking. It simply reduces excessive muscle activity to restore comfort and balance.

What to expect
- Consultation: Your appointment begins with a full consultation with our nurse prescriber. We will assess your symptoms, jaw movement and muscle activity and explain how treatment works.
- Treatment: A few small injections are placed into each side of the jaw. The procedure is quick and well tolerated, with no anaesthetic required.
- Aftercare and Review: You can return to normal activities straight after treatment. We provide simple aftercare guidance and arrange a review if needed to assess your response.
Recovery & results
You may feel mild tenderness in the jaw for a day or two, but there is no downtime.
Most patients begin to notice relief within one to two weeks as the muscle relaxes, with continued improvement in comfort and facial tension over the following month. Regular treatment can help retrain the muscles and reduce the return of symptoms.
Safety & reassurance
All injectable treatments are carried out by our nurse prescriber, under the guidance of a medical doctor, ensuring the highest standards of safety. Where appropriate, we use ultrasound imaging to guide treatment and enhance precision, ensuring accurate placement and optimal results.
We use only CE-marked, medical-grade products and follow strict clinical protocols for muscle mapping and dosing.

If the masseter muscles are enlarged, treatment can subtly slim the lower face, creating a softer, more balanced contour.
