Did you know that Botulinum toxin is used in the treatment of teeth squeezing and tooth grinding?
Particularly in recent years, an important part of the society has experienced some complaints such as tooth squeezing or tooth grinding. Stress, depression, anxiety, various vitamins and mineral deficiencies, poor tooth structure, various drugs and genetic structure may be the result. If the treatment is delayed, it may cause mandibular joint arthritis and permanent tooth problems.
Studies have shown that botulinum toxin is effective in the treatment of bruxism, or other types of teeth grinding and tooth squeezing, and relieves the patients. The application should be done by a dermatologist who specializes in the field, to the muscles involved in teething.
Because the nerves of the region are temporarily blocked by applying botox injection to the muscles that cover our jaws, contraction of the muscles can be prevented and tooth gnashing can be prevented. In fact, it was developed in order to remove the stress on the botox muscles and to eliminate the spasms. Botox does not damage muscle tissue. It is necessary only for the contraction of the muscle and prevents the signal from the nerve from reaching the casing in that area.
Oral and maxillofacial function should not be restricted by dermatologists who are specialized in their field. When injected on a regular basis, their castrops become less cumbersome and may not require the use of botox over time.
