Jaw Slimming / Teeth Grinding
Jaw slimming and treatment for teeth grinding (bruxism) involve the use of anti-wrinkle injections to relax the muscles of the jaw. This procedure not only reduces the width of the jawline for aesthetic purposes but also alleviates discomfort associated with teeth grinding. Many patients find relief from tension headaches and jaw pain following treatment, contributing to an overall improvement in quality of life.
