Jaw Clenching & Teeth Grinding

A personalized approach to jaw tension and overactive jaw muscles.

Jaw clenching and teeth grinding can place excessive stress on the muscles responsible for chewing, particularly the masseter muscles along the jawline. At Stout Aesthetics, treatment begins with an individualized assessment to determine whether neuromodulator treatment may be appropriate for your concerns.

Common concerns include:

✓ Jaw clenching or tightness
✓ Teeth grinding (bruxism)
✓ Overactive or enlarged masseter muscles
✓ Jaw muscle fatigue or soreness
✓ Tension associated with frequent clenching
✓ A wider or more prominent lower face related to masseter muscle activity

TREATMENT OPTION

Neuromodulator Treatment

Botox® or Jeuveau® may be strategically injected into the masseter muscles to temporarily reduce excessive muscle activity. Treatment is individualized based on your anatomy, muscle strength, symptoms, and treatment goals.

For appropriate patients, reducing masseter activity may help decrease clenching-related muscle tension while also creating a softer, more tapered appearance of the lower face.
