The effects of your treatment are noticeable over the next few days as the muscle starts to relax. Your results last for several months, and can be maintained with regular top-up treatments.
How does painful masseter treatment work?
The treatment works by injecting a muscle-relaxing solution directly into the masseter muscle, which is located at the side of your jaw. This relaxes the muscle, reducing its involuntary contractions and strength. By lessening the muscle’s activity, the treatment relieves jaw tension and teeth grinding, leading to a significant reduction in associated pain and damage.
