What is Bruxism (Teeth Grinding)?
Bruxism is a condition in which you unconsciously clench, gnash, or grind your teeth. It most commonly occurs during sleep (sleep bruxism) but can also happen subconsciously while you are awake, often due to stress or anxiety. The human jaw can exert an immense amount of pressure. Over time, this continuous, extreme force causes severe damage to your teeth, jaw joints (TMJ), and surrounding facial muscles.
Why Treating Bruxism is Crucial for Your Smile
Left untreated, bruxism can literally grind down your natural tooth enamel to flat stumps, crack expensive dental implants, and easily chip premium porcelain veneers or crowns. It also leads to severe tooth sensitivity, receding gums, and chronic daily headaches. If you are investing in a Hollywood Smile or full-mouth restoration at our clinic, controlling your bruxism is a mandatory step to protect your beautiful new investment.
Our Bruxism Solutions in Antalya
Depending on the severity of your condition, we offer highly effective, minimally invasive solutions to stop the damage instantly:
Custom Night Guards (Occlusal Splints): We use precise 3D digital scanners to craft a perfectly fitting, high-grade acrylic night guard for you. Worn only while you sleep, this transparent device acts as a protective cushion. It prevents the upper and lower teeth from locking together and grinding, instantly relaxing your overworked jaw muscles.
Masseter Botox (Jaw Toxin Injections): This is a highly popular and fast-acting treatment. By strategically injecting a small, safe amount of Botulinum Toxin into the masseter (the main chewing muscle at the corner of your jaw), we temporarily weaken its ability to clench forcefully. It does not affect your normal ability to chew or speak, but it completely stops the extreme grinding pressure. As a bonus, it also slims the lower face, creating a highly desired, softer V-shaped jawline.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I grind my teeth at night?
Since it happens during sleep, many people don’t realize it until a partner hears the grinding noise, or our dentists notice flattened, worn-down enamel during an exam. Waking up with a stiff jaw, earache, or a dull headache are major red flags that you are clenching your teeth.
Are store-bought night guards just as good?
No. Over-the-counter “boil-and-bite” guards are bulky, uncomfortable, and can actually worsen TMJ (jaw joint) pain because they do not align your bite correctly. A custom-milled digital splint from our clinic is tailored to the exact anatomy of your jaw for maximum protection and comfortable breathing.
Is the Masseter Botox treatment painful?
Not at all. The procedure takes only 10 to 15 minutes and feels like a tiny pinch. There is zero downtime, meaning you can resume your holiday activities or head straight to the beach in Antalya immediately after leaving the chair.
How long does Masseter Botox last for teeth grinding?
The muscle-relaxing effects typically last between 4 to 6 months. Many patients find that after several consistent treatments, the muscle naturally shrinks and the subconscious grinding habit is significantly reduced even after the Botox wears off.
Will Botox change the shape of my face?
Yes, but in a very aesthetically pleasing way. Because the masseter muscle is constantly “working out” during grinding, it becomes bulky, making the lower face look wide or square. Botox shrinks this muscle back to its normal resting size, resulting in a slimmer, more elegant jawline.
I just got new Veneers. Do I really need a night guard?
If you have a history of clenching or grinding, absolutely. While premium E-max veneers and Zirconia crowns are incredibly strong, the continuous, extreme pressure of nighttime bruxism can eventually cause them to fracture. A custom night guard is a very inexpensive insurance policy for your new smile.
