Bruxism (Teeth Grinding)
Bruxism, or teeth grinding, is a common condition where people clench or grind their teeth, often without realising it. This can happen during the day or at night while sleeping. If left untreated, it can lead to dental issues and discomfort, but there are effective treatments to help manage the condition.

What is bruxism?
Bruxism is when someone unconsciously grinds or clenches their teeth. It’s often linked to stress, anxiety, or misaligned teeth and can cause issues like worn-down teeth, jaw pain, and headaches over time. Treating bruxism can help reduce these symptoms and protect your teeth.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Bruxism treatments focus on reducing jaw muscle activity, which causes the grinding. This can be done with a custom mouthguard to wear at night or with injections that relax the jaw muscles, helping to ease the grinding and clenching.
HOW MUCH DOES THIS TREATMENT COST?
At Skinox Aesthetics, bruxism treatment starts from £249 per session. The cost will depend on the treatment method and the number of sessions required, which we’ll discuss during your consultation.
Results
Most people experience a reduction in teeth grinding and jaw pain within a few days to a week after treatment. The results typically last several months, depending on the treatment method used. Regular treatments may be recommended to maintain the results.
TREATMENT PROCESS
The treatment process is straightforward and involves three key steps:
We’ll assess your symptoms and discuss your options, such as a mouthguard or injections. We’ll create a treatment plan that’s tailored to your needs and explain how it works.
If injections are used, a numbing cream can be applied to make the process more comfortable. The injections are quick and target the jaw muscles. If a mouthguard is part of the treatment, we’ll take measurements to ensure it is custom fitted.
For injections, you may notice results within a few days and can return to normal activities straight away. If using a mouthguard, it’s important to wear it as directed to help reduce teeth grinding, especially at night.
