Jaw Tension, TMJ & Bruxism Support
Prescribing clinician-led assessment and targeted treatment for jaw clenching, teeth grinding and the facial tension, headaches and discomfort they cause.
Understanding jaw tension and bruxism
Bruxism — the habitual clenching or grinding of teeth — is a common condition that many people are unaware they have. It often occurs during sleep or periods of stress and can lead to jaw pain, tension headaches, facial soreness and even tooth damage over time.
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) connects your jawbone to your skull. When the muscles around this joint become overactive or hypertonic, it can cause significant discomfort, restricted jaw movement and referred pain across the face and head.
Targeted muscle relaxation treatment can reduce the intensity of clenching, relieve associated pain and restore comfort — without surgery or ongoing medication.

Common symptoms we treat
How the treatment works
Clinical assessment
A thorough evaluation of your symptoms, jaw function and muscle activity to confirm suitability and identify the treatment approach.
Targeted injection
Small, precise doses of muscle relaxant are injected into the masseter and/or temporalis muscles to reduce overactivity and relieve tension.
Gradual relief
Effects typically develop over 1–2 weeks as the muscles relax. Many patients notice reduced clenching, less jaw pain and fewer headaches.
Review
A follow-up assessment to evaluate the response and adjust the treatment plan if needed. Results generally last 3–6 months.
Functional and aesthetic benefits
While the primary goal is pain relief and functional improvement, many patients also notice a cosmetic benefit. Reducing masseter muscle overactivity can slim and soften the jawline over time — a welcome secondary outcome for those who feel their jaw appears overly square or bulky.
Relief from jaw tension starts with a conversation
