Fillers for Teeth Grinding
Fillers, commonly known for its use in cosmetic procedures, can also be an effective treatment for teeth grinding, also known as bruxism. Here’s how it works and what to expect:
How Fillers Helps with Teeth Grinding
- Muscle Relaxation: Fillers is a neurotoxin that temporarily paralyzes muscles. When injected into the masseter muscle (the large muscle that moves the jaw), it reduces its activity, thereby decreasing the intensity of grinding and clenching.
- Pain Relief: By reducing muscle activity, Fillers can also alleviate the associated pain in the jaw, neck, and shoulders.
- Protects Teeth: Reducing grinding can help prevent further wear and damage to teeth.
Procedure
- Consultation: A consultation with a healthcare provider (usually a dentist or a doctor) will determine if Fillers is a suitable treatment for your bruxism.
- Injection: The procedure involves a few small injections into the masseter muscle. It is generally quick and minimally invasive.
- Duration: Effects typically begin within a few days and can last for 3-6 months, after which repeat treatments may be necessary.
Benefits
Non-invasive: Compared to surgical options, Filler is minimally invasive.
Quick Recovery: Most people can return to normal activities immediately after the procedure.
Effective: Many patients experience significant relief from symptoms.
Considerations
Cost: Filler treatments can be expensive and are often not covered by insurance for bruxism.
Side Effects: Possible side effects include bruising, swelling, and, in rare cases, asymmetry in facial expression.
Temporary: The effects of Fillers are not permanent, and ongoing treatments are required to maintain results.
Who Can Perform This?
Qualified Professionals: It’s crucial to have Fillers administered by a qualified healthcare provider who is experienced in treating bruxism with Fillers .
If you are considering Fillers for teeth grinding, it’s important to discuss it with your dentist or doctor to ensure it’s the right option for you and to understand all potential risks and benefits.
