The masseter muscle, located at the angle of the jaw, plays an essential role in chewing and clenching the teeth. In some individuals, this muscle becomes overactive and enlarged, leading to a condition known as bruxism — where frequent teeth grinding can cause jaw discomfort, clicking, tenderness near the temples or ears (TMJ), and even persistent headaches.
At our Marylebone Clinic, precise anti-wrinkle injections into the masseter muscle help to relax excessive tension and reduce involuntary teeth grinding. This simple, effective treatment can significantly ease symptoms of bruxism, relieve discomfort, and protect your teeth from further wear.
