Located on both sides of the head at the point where the jawbone meets the skull, the temporo-mandibular joint (TMJ) is used during talking, eating, swallowing, and other everyday activities. If this joint becomes overworked through excessive teeth grinding or clenching, a person may suffer severe tension headaches, as well as jaw pain and associated dental damage.
Silent symptoms of Bruxism are unexplained nausea, tinnitus (ringing in the ears) and migraine. Lisa Price has travelled to France to extend her knowledge in treating this particular medical condition.
Safely relieve jaw pain and clenching
We use a muscle-relaxant injection to relieve jaw tension by making muscles unable to engage in the powerful and often unconscious clenching/grinding of the jaw that produces headaches and pain. For those that have been advised to wear a mouth splint or guard at night, this is likely to no longer be needed.
The treatment for TMJ disorders and jaw tension is quick, straightforward, and extremely effective. This ten minute, non-surgical procedure is provided by a cosmetic practitioner experienced in providing muscle-relaxing injections for this specific condition. Most patients experience noticeable improvement within one or two days of their first treatment, although relief can take up to a week.
The treatment usually lasts between 4–6 months and up to 12 months with repeated treatments. The injections often eliminate headaches resulting from teeth grinding, and, in cases of severe stress can even minimise lock jaw.
