Microinjections
Combating bruxism is more effective than ever with microinjections.
What are the Relaxing Microinjections for Bruxism?
The muscle relaxing microinjections for bruxism are a treatment that involves the application of small doses of botulinum toxin (commonly known as Botox) into the masticatory muscles affected by bruxism. Botulinum toxin works by temporarily relaxing the muscles, which can reduce the strength and intensity of the clenching and grinding of teeth associated with bruxism.
What is the Procedure for Relaxing Microinjections to Treat Bruxism?
The procedure for the muscle relaxing microinjections for bruxism generally involves the following steps:
- Evaluation and diagnosis: A dentist or specialist in temporomandibular disorders (TMD) will assess the patient's case, including medical history, symptoms, and evaluation of the masticatory musculature. Specific tests will be conducted to determine if the patient is a suitable candidate for treatment with botulinum toxin.
- Identification of injection points: Based on the clinical evaluation, the professional will determine the appropriate injection points in the affected masticatory muscles. These points are selected to allow the botulinum toxin to act directly on the muscles responsible for bruxism.
- Preparation and application of microinjections: Sterile preparation is carried out and microinjections of botulinum toxin are administered at the selected injection points. The doses used are very small and specific to each individual case.
- Follow-up and adjustments: After the treatment, follow-up appointments will be scheduled to assess the patient's response and make adjustments if necessary. In some cases, additional injections may be required to achieve the desired effect.
It is important to note that the muscle relaxing microinjections for bruxism must be performed by a trained and experienced professional in the use of botulinum toxin. Furthermore, this treatment is only a temporary option and does not address the underlying cause of bruxism. Therefore, it is important for the patient to receive an appropriate diagnosis and consider other complementary therapies, such as the use of occlusal splints and stress management, for a comprehensive approach to bruxism treatment.
Duration
How Long Does the Effect of Microinjections for Bruxism Last?
The effect of botulinum toxin (Botox) treatment for bruxism is temporary and can vary for each individual. Typically, the effect begins to manifest within the first few days after application and reaches its peak in about 1 to 2 weeks. The duration of the effect varies but generally can last between 3 to 6 months.
It is important to note that the effect of Botox can be different for each person and may depend on individual factors such as metabolism, muscle response, and the administered dose. Some patients may experience a shorter duration of effect, while others may enjoy a longer duration.
Once the effect of Botox begins to fade, symptoms of bruxism, such as clenching and grinding of teeth, may reappear. In such cases, a new application of the treatment can be considered.
It is important to note that Botox treatment for bruxism is only a temporary option and does not address the underlying cause of bruxism. It is essential to make a proper diagnosis and consider other complementary therapies, such as the use of occlusal splints and stress management, for a comprehensive and long-term approach to the treatment of bruxism.

What is the success rate of bruxism treatment with microinjections?
The use of botulinum toxin (Botox) for the treatment of bruxism has proven to be effective in many cases, but it is important to note that the success of the treatment can vary depending on the individual and the severity of the bruxism. The success rate of Botox in bruxism varies in different studies and clinical contexts.
It has been reported that treatment with botulinum toxin can reduce symptoms of bruxism in approximately 70% to 80% of cases. This includes a decrease in the intensity and frequency of clenching and grinding of teeth, as well as a reduction in associated symptoms, such as facial pain and muscle fatigue.
However, it is important to note that the effect of botulinum toxin is temporary and can last about 3 to 6 months. After this period, a new application of the treatment may be required to maintain the results.
It is essential that the treatment with Botox be carried out by a medically or dentally trained and experienced professional in the use of botulinum toxin. An appropriate diagnosis and individualized treatment plan are also important for achieving the best results.
It is advisable to consult with a dentist or specialist in temporomandibular disorders (TMD) to evaluate your specific case and determine if treatment with Botox is appropriate for you and what the prognosis of success might be in your particular situation.
What are the benefits of undergoing microinjection treatment at ENIQ?
The benefits of performing muscle relaxant microinjection for bruxism with technology can include:
- Reduction of bruxism symptoms: The application of botulinum toxin in the masticatory muscles can help to relax them, which can result in a decrease in the force and intensity of clenching and grinding of teeth. This can reduce associated symptoms, such as facial pain, muscle fatigue, and headaches.
- Improvement of sleep quality: Bruxism can disrupt sleep and cause problems such as waking up feeling tired. By reducing excessive muscle activity at night, muscle relaxant microinjections can help to improve sleep quality and prevent daytime fatigue.
- Protection of teeth and oral structures: Bruxism can wear down teeth, cause fractures or abnormal dental wear, and affect oral structures, such as the temporomandibular joints (TMJ). By relaxing the masticatory muscles, microinjections can help to reduce long-term damage to teeth and oral structures.
- Less invasive treatment: Compared to other therapeutic approaches, such as the use of occlusal splints or occlusion adjustment, muscle relaxant microinjections offer a less invasive treatment. They do not require surgical interventions or permanent modifications to the dental structure.
- Rapid and predictable results: The application of botulinum toxin for bruxism can provide quick results, usually manifesting within a few days and reaching their maximum effect in one or two weeks. Additionally, the results are usually predictable and controllable, allowing for adjustment of the dose and location of the injections according to the individual needs of each patient.
It is important to note that the benefits of muscle relaxant microinjections can vary depending on the individual and that the treatment should be performed by a trained and experienced professional in its application. It is recommended to consult a dentist or specialist in temporomandibular disorders (TMD) to evaluate your specific case and determine if this therapeutic approach is appropriate for you.
