Bruxism treatment near Stuttgart
Do you often feel headaches and neck tension in the morning? Does it feel like your jaw has been working all night? Bruxism – i.e. unconscious or nocturnal teeth grinding or clenching – affects many people. In the long term, in addition to tooth damage, it can also lead to temporomandibular joint pain and tension. The team at the Traumklinik enables you to have an effective bruxism treatment: In our clinic near Stuttgart, we use Botox® to relax the jaw muscles and alleviate discomfort – for better sleep and a better quality of life.
What exactly is bruxism?
Bruxism is unconscious, usually nocturnal jaw movements that lead to severe clenching or teeth grinding. The causes include stress, incorrect contact of the teeth and neurological factors. Many people do not initially associate their symptoms with bruxism, which means that treatment at our clinic near Stuttgart is often late. Typical consequences are:
- Neck, head or even back pain
- Tense chewing muscles
- abraded or damaged teeth
- especially morning headaches
- Neck and shoulder tension
- Noises or blockages in the temporomandibular joint
- impaired sleep quality
Often, those affected are informed of teeth grinding by their partner or dentist and only then inquire about bruxism treatment. For Stuttgart and the surrounding region, we offer a minimally invasive and gentle solution at the Traumklinik.
Botox® for bruxism treatment at the specialist team near Stuttgart
Botox® – short for botulinum toxin – is known to most people primarily as an aesthetic procedure for wrinkle treatment. In fact, however, the active ingredient has a wide range of applications in medicine. In the medical field, Botox® has been successfully used for decades to treat various muscle hyperactivities – for example, migraines, muscle disorders, heavy sweating or even for the treatment of bruxism.
How does Botox® work in bruxism treatment?
In our private clinic near Stuttgart, we use Botox® in both the aesthetic and medical fields. Its effect is based on the fact that signal transmission between nerves and the treated muscle group is temporarily inhibited. This allows us to relax overactive muscles. In the case of bruxism, this means that the strong and tense masticatory muscles are relaxed after a precise injection, and excessive tension is effectively reduced – without impairing the normal chewing and speech function.
Through bruxism treatment we achieve the following effects:
- Unconscious teeth grinding and jaw clenching decrease.
- Pain and tension become noticeably less.
- Teeth and temporomandibular joint are spared.
- In many cases, sleep improves significantly.
Patients usually notice the effect after just a few days – it usually lasts between three and six months.Important: Regular bruxism treatment with Botox® with our team near Stuttgart can help to normalize the activity of the jaw muscles in the long term, so that treatments are only necessary at longer intervals.
