Teeth Grinding & Tension headaches.

Relieve Jaw Tension & Improve Comfort

Teeth grinding (bruxism) and jaw clenching are common conditions that can place excessive strain on the jaw muscles, leading to discomfort, headaches and wear on the teeth. Many people grind or clench their teeth unconsciously, particularly during sleep or times of stress.

Over time, this constant muscle activity can contribute to facial tension, jaw pain and an enlarged jawline due to overactive masseter muscles.

    • Teeth grinding or clenching

    • Frequent tension headaches

    • Jaw pain or tenderness

    • Facial aching or tightness

    • Clicking or discomfort when opening the mouth

    • Waking with jaw soreness

    • A widened or square jaw caused by enlarged jaw muscles

  • Following a comprehensive consultation, a personalised treatment plan will be created to help relieve muscle tension and improve your symptoms.

    Treatment may include:

    • Anti-wrinkle injections to relax the overactive masseter muscles, reducing clenching and grinding.

    • A tailored treatment plan based on the severity of your symptoms and individual needs.

    • Referral to your dentist or GP where appropriate, particularly if further assessment or a night guard is recommended.

    Treatment aims to reduce muscle activity while maintaining normal jaw function, helping to relieve discomfort without affecting your ability to eat, speak or express yourself naturally.

    • Reduces teeth grinding and jaw clenching

    • Relieves jaw tension and discomfort

    • Helps reduce tension headaches

    • Eases facial muscle pain

    • May slim the appearance of the lower face if enlarged masseter muscles are present

    • Improves overall comfort and quality of life

  • You may benefit from treatment if you regularly grind or clench your teeth, experience recurring tension headaches, wake with jaw pain or notice persistent tightness around your jaw.

    During your consultation, I will assess your symptoms, discuss your medical history and determine whether treatment is appropriate for you, ensuring a safe and personalised approach.
