If you wake up with a sore jaw, tension headaches, or worn-down teeth, you may be one of the millions of people who clench or grind without even realizing it.
Overactive masseter muscles – the powerful muscles used for chewing – are often responsible for jaw clenching, teeth grinding (bruxism), and many TMD symptoms. Over time, these muscles can also become enlarged, creating a wider or more square jawline.
At Lansdowne Family Dental’s Implant and Cosmetic Center – serving Ashburn, Leesburg, and Sterling, Virginia – we use therapeutic Botox® injections to relax these overactive muscles. This helps relieve jaw tension, reduce clenching and grinding, protect your teeth, and, for many patients, create a softer, more balanced facial appearance.
It’s more than a cosmetic treatment. It’s treatment that can improve both comfort and confidence.
