Do you frequently wake up with jaw discomfort, facial tension, or dull headaches? Have you noticed your teeth appearing flatter or more worn than they used to be? You may be experiencing a condition known as bruxism—the involuntary grinding of teeth or clenching of the jaw.
At Monaz Clinic in Harley Street, we understand how this condition can affect a woman’s daily comfort, confidence, and even sleep quality. We offer anti-wrinkle injections as a non-surgical method to manage the overactive jaw muscles responsible for bruxism. This medically regulated approach helps reduce symptoms by relaxing the masseter and temporalis muscles, bringing relief without impacting natural facial movement.
Our female-focused, discreet environment ensures that every patient is treated with the care, safety, and understanding they deserve.
Bruxism refers to the repetitive, involuntary grinding or clenching of teeth. It typically occurs during sleep, although some women may also experience it while awake, especially during periods of stress. The condition is often subconscious, meaning many patients are unaware of it until symptoms or damage appear.
Without early management, bruxism may contribute to longer-term complications such as temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction, chronic facial pain, or changes in facial shape due to muscle overdevelopment.
For many women, bruxism can become a daily burden—disrupting sleep, causing discomfort, and compromising oral health. Anti-wrinkle injections offer a clinically recognised solution that works by temporarily reducing excessive muscle activity in the jaw, relieving symptoms without the need for invasive procedures.
This treatment is especially suitable for women who prefer a conservative approach that maintains natural facial movement and expression.
This treatment is suitable for adult patients who experience symptoms linked to jaw clenching or grinding (bruxism) and would like a non-surgical, prescription-led option to help reduce muscle overactivity. It’s often chosen by women who want relief from jaw tension while keeping facial movement natural and recognisable.
You may be a suitable candidate if:
Suitability is always confirmed during a face-to-face consultation with a qualified prescriber, where we assess your jaw muscle activity, symptoms, medical history, and current medications, so expectations stay realistic and outcomes remain natural.
Anti-wrinkle injections are a prescription-only treatment used to temporarily reduce the strength of contraction in selected muscles. While many people associate them with facial lines, the same approach can be used in a clinical setting to help manage jaw muscle overactivity, which is often linked to clenching and grinding (bruxism). When the jaw muscles contract powerfully and repeatedly, it can contribute to soreness, tension headaches, tooth wear, and a feeling of tightness in the face.
For bruxism support, treatment planning focuses on calming overactive chewing muscles so they work less forcefully, helping to reduce strain. The aim is not to change who you are or restrict normal function — it’s to help the jaw feel more relaxed while you continue to chew, speak, and smile comfortably. Suitability is confirmed during a face-to-face consultation with a qualified prescriber, including review of your medical history, medications, and symptoms.
At Monaz Clinic, the focus is on muscle function and balance — reducing excessive force without creating an unnatural feel or limiting everyday movement.
For bruxism support, the aim is to temporarily reduce the strength of contraction in the jaw muscles that are working too forcefully. When clenching or grinding is frequent, the muscles can remain in a cycle of overactivity, which may contribute to jaw soreness, tension headaches, and facial tightness. By calming activity in selected points, the muscles can work with less force, allowing the jaw to feel more relaxed over time.
Importantly, treatment is designed to preserve normal function. Chewing, speaking, and facial expression remain natural, as only selected points in the overactive muscles are treated.
On the day of treatment, your skin will be gently cleansed, and any makeup removed. While the procedure is generally well-tolerated, a topical numbing cream can be applied for added comfort.
When to Expect Results?
Most women begin to notice a reduction in symptoms within 7 to 14 days after treatment. Jaw tension, headaches, and clenching frequency typically start to ease during this period.
How Long Will It Last?
The effects generally last between 4 to 6 months, depending on individual metabolism, lifestyle, and the severity of the condition. With regular treatments, many patients report longer-lasting relief over time.
Maintenance:
We recommend scheduling repeat treatments every 5 to 6 months to maintain consistent symptom control and support muscle balance.
While adverse effects are uncommon, some clients may experience:
In rare cases, asymmetry in facial movement or prolonged muscle weakness.
