Questions patients ask
Frequently asked questions
People who wake with a sore jaw, who have been told by a dentist that they are wearing their teeth down, or who catch themselves clenching at a desk.
Bruxism is common, largely nocturnal and largely unconscious. Its effects show up as worn enamel, cracked teeth, jaw pain, and headaches that are worst on waking. A night guard protects the teeth, and your clinician talks through how treatment fits alongside it.
£450, including a two week review.
Your clinician explains what to expect at consultation, as the masseter is a large muscle and planned differently from cosmetic treatment.
Your clinician explains what to expect for the clench at consultation. The habit itself may carry on, which is why a guard still matters.
Yes. Normal chewing uses a fraction of the force the masseter can generate. Very tough foods may feel like more work for a few weeks.
With repeated treatment, yes, as the muscle reduces in bulk. Some patients love that and some would rather keep their jawline, so the plan is made around you.
Your clinician looks at mid-face volume before treating and plans around it, so your lower face stays well supported and the jawline looks naturally you.
Yes, and they work well together. A guard protects the teeth, and your clinician explains how treatment fits alongside it.
Your clinician explains what to expect at consultation, with a review at two weeks.
Your clinician talks through any link with clenching at consultation, and explains what to expect. It is a different treatment from the chronic migraine protocol.
