Teeth Grinding Treatment in Milton Keynes
Consultation-led support for bruxism, jaw tension and masseter overactivity, with treatment discussed only where clinically appropriate.
Teeth grinding, also known as bruxism, can affect comfort, sleep quality, jaw tension and facial shape over time. Some patients notice headaches or clenching, while others become aware of a heavier jawline or muscle bulk at the sides of the face. At Shujo Aesthetics, we assess symptoms, muscle activity and facial balance before discussing options.
Understanding the Condition
What Is Teeth Grinding / Bruxism?
Bruxism — the habitual grinding or clenching of the teeth — often occurs unconsciously, particularly during sleep. Over time, the repeated overactivity of the masseter muscles can lead to muscle enlargement, resulting in a heavier, wider-looking lower face. Patients frequently present with jaw aching, headaches, disrupted sleep and sometimes dental wear. At Shujo Aesthetics, we assess all of these factors before discussing what treatment, if any, is appropriate.
Clinically Treatable
Bruxism causes masseter overactivity, leading to jaw tension, headaches and a heavier lower-face appearance.
