Teeth Clenching

Service Description

This non-surgical, clinician-led treatment is designed to address overactivity in the masseter muscles — the muscles at the back of the jaw involved in chewing and clenching. In some individuals, these muscles can become enlarged over time due to habits such as jaw clenching or teeth grinding, contributing to a broader or more square jawline. Following a full consultation, targeted muscle relaxation may be considered to reduce excessive muscle activity, which can help create a softer, more balanced lower face appearance over time. ⸻ Potential benefits While results vary between individuals, some patients may experience: • Non-surgical approach No surgery or incisions required. • Brief appointment time Treatment is typically completed within 30 minutes following consultation. • Minimal disruption Most people return to normal activities the same day. • Subtle aesthetic change Gradual softening of jawline contours rather than dramatic alteration. • Functional support In suitable cases, reduced muscle tension associated with jaw clenching or grinding. • Temporary and adjustable results Effects are not permanent and can be reviewed as part of an ongoing treatment plan. Visible changes, where they occur, develop gradually and may take several weeks. Some individuals may require more than one treatment to achieve their desired outcome. ⸻ Suitability This treatment may be discussed if you: • Have a broader or more prominent jawline related to muscle activity • Experience jaw clenching or teeth grinding • Are seeking a non-surgical option following professional assessment Suitability is determined during a face-to-face consultation. ⸻ Important information This treatment involves a prescription-only medicine and: • Is not suitable for everyone • Requires medical assessment and informed consent • Is only provided by a qualified prescriber where clinically appropriate No prescription treatments are offered without consultation - fee redeemable against treatment.
