Bruksizm
Bruxism is the habitual grinding or strong clenching of the teeth, most often during sleep. Its symptoms include headaches, jaw muscle tension, tooth wear and a feeling of fatigue in the facial muscles.
Left untreated, bruxism can lead to tooth damage, temporomandibular joint problems and chronic pain. At Luna Clinic we treat it with botulinum toxin, which relaxes the masseter muscles and reduces their excessive activity.
Indications
Treatment of bruxism is indicated when the patient feels constant tension of the jaw muscles, which can cause facial, jaw or head pain. Botulinum toxin relaxes the masseter muscles, reducing their excessive activity. The procedure relieves symptoms and improves quality of life.
Bruxism manifested by teeth grinding at night can lead to enamel wear, tooth cracking and dental problems. Treatment with botulinum toxin reduces the muscles’ biting force, which protects the teeth from further damage. It is an effective method of eliminating the cause of the problem.
Patients with bruxism often complain of pain in the face and muscle fatigue while eating or speaking. Treatment with botulinum toxin helps reduce these complaints by relaxing the tense muscles. The result is improved function and comfort in everyday activities.
Chronic bruxism can lead to enlargement of the masseter muscles, giving the face a square, massive appearance. Treatment with botulinum toxin not only relieves the symptoms of bruxism but also models the lower face, giving it a more delicate and slender shape. It is an ideal solution for both health and aesthetics.
Symptoms and consequences
Bruxism is habitual teeth grinding or firm clenching, which most often occurs during sleep. It manifests, among others, as headaches, jaw-muscle tension, tooth wear and a feeling of facial-muscle fatigue. Untreated bruxism can lead to tooth damage, temporomandibular joint problems and chronic pain.
Treatment methods
The most effective method of treating bruxism is the use of botulinum toxin, which relaxes the masseter muscles, reducing their excessive activity. Relaxation splints, which protect the teeth from damage, are also often used in therapy. The treatment can be complemented by relaxation techniques, physiotherapy and manual therapy, which help reduce muscle tension.
Treatment effects
Treatment of bruxism not only eliminates the symptoms but also prevents serious consequences such as tooth damage, jaw-joint pain or migraines. In addition, the therapy improves sleep quality and daily functioning, eliminating discomfort and tension in the face and neck. Quick diagnosis and the implementation of appropriate treatment are crucial for the patient’s health.
Frequently asked questions
What is bruxism and how does it manifest?
Bruxism is habitual clenching and grinding of teeth, most often during sleep. It manifests as morning jaw and head pain, facial-muscle tension, tooth wear and enlargement of the masseter muscles.
How is bruxism treated with botulinum toxin?
The toxin is injected into the enlarged masseter muscles, which reduces the force of their contraction. Grinding and tension subside, and the teeth stop being damaged - while normal biting and speech are preserved.
When does the effect of bruxism treatment appear?
Muscle relaxation is felt after 3-7 days, and the full effect develops within 2 weeks. An additional result can be slimming of the lower face when the masseters are enlarged.
How long does botulinum toxin work for bruxism?
The effect usually lasts 4-6 months. With regular repetition of the procedure, the muscles decrease in volume and the intervals between injections often lengthen.
Does the bruxism procedure hurt?
The injections are performed with a very thin needle and take a few minutes - most patients feel only minor pricks. If needed, we apply a local anaesthetic cream.
Will I bite and speak normally after the procedure?
Yes - the dose is chosen to weaken excessive clenching while preserving full chewing and speech function. In the first few days you may feel slight muscle fatigue with hard foods.
Does bruxism treatment replace a relaxation splint?
The toxin acts on the cause of muscle tension, while the splint protects the teeth mechanically - the methods often complement each other. We determine the optimal plan individually, sometimes in cooperation with a dentist.
What are the consequences of untreated bruxism?
Tooth wear and cracking, damage to the temporomandibular joints, chronic head and facial pain, and enlargement of the masseters that changes facial features. Early treatment prevents these complications.
How to prepare for the procedure?
For 24-48 hours before the procedure avoid alcohol, inform the doctor about the medications you take and come without make-up in the treatment area. Qualification takes place on site, without a referral.
What are the recommendations after injecting the masseters?
For 4 hours do not massage the area and do not lie down, and for 48 hours avoid the sauna, intense exertion and alcohol. You return to everyday activities right away.
Are there contraindications to treatment with the toxin?
Yes - including pregnancy and breastfeeding, myasthenia and other neuromuscular diseases, an active infection at the injection site, and an allergy to the product’s ingredients. Safety is assessed by the doctor during qualification.
How much does bruxism treatment cost in Wrocław?
The cost depends on the required dose of botulinum toxin, matched to the strength of the masseter muscles. You will receive a quote at a consultation at Luna Clinic; indicative prices can be found in the price list.
Contraindications
How to prepare?
Preparation is simple:
- come without make-up in the treatment area
- stop alcohol for 24-48 hours and (after consulting your doctor) blood-thinning medications
- inform us about the medications you take, allergies and previous aesthetic procedures
- report any tendency to herpes - we will protect you preventively
How does the procedure go?
The product is administered with a thin needle or cannula under topical anaesthesia; the procedure is short and comfortable.
Recovery and recommendations
You return to everyday life immediately after leaving the office. For the first 24 hours, do not touch or massage the treated area; for 24-48 hours, avoid intensive sport, the sauna and alcohol. Minor redness or bruising disappears within a few days - it is easy to conceal.
Safety and possible complications
After the injections, temporary redness, swelling or bruising may occur; rarely - asymmetry requiring correction or an allergic reaction. We prevent complications through the injection technique, the quality of the products and medical qualification, and we address any post-procedure concern immediately.

What does bruxism treatment involve?
Bruxism is a procedure in the field of aesthetic medicine. At Luna Clinic, every treatment plan is created individually - we start with a thorough consultation and qualification, during which the doctor discusses expectations, assesses the starting situation and selects the scope and technique of the procedure. Thanks to this, bruxism treatment is safe, predictable and tailored to the anatomy and real needs of the specific person. We focus on a natural rather than artificial effect - so that the result emphasises individual beauty and remains in harmony with the rest of the figure or facial features. You will find a full, detailed description of the method in the upper part of this page.
bruxism treatment - who is it for? Indications and qualification
The best way to answer whether bruxism treatment is advisable in your case is during a consultation. The doctor always decides on qualification after an examination - we take into account the state of health, expectations and the real possibilities of the given method. If the procedure is not needed or safe at the moment, we will say so directly and suggest a sensible alternative. Such an honest conversation is the basis of a good decision and satisfaction with the result - which is why we never persuade anyone into unnecessary procedures.
How does the procedure go?
The course is planned to take maximum care of your comfort and safety. We work in comfortable conditions that meet all standards, and an experienced team oversees the process. All recommendations - preparation, contraindications and post-procedure conduct - are discussed individually and also provided in writing, so that bruxism treatment proceeds calmly, predictably and without surprises.
Effects and durability - bruxism treatment before and after
The effects that bruxism treatment provides are always assessed individually. A natural, harmonious refreshment of appearance or an improvement of proportions is the goal we strive for with every patient. “Before and after” transformations are best viewed in our results gallery - they show the real outcomes of our work. Remember that the durability and quality of the effect are also influenced by lifestyle, care and consistent adherence to post-procedure recommendations.
Recovery and post-procedure recommendations
Recovery goes most smoothly when you follow the recommendations closely. After the procedure you remain under the clinic’s care - in the first days, contact with a doctor is available, and we schedule follow-up visits until full healing and assessment of the effect. You receive clear instructions on care, activity and any supporting products in writing, so you know exactly what to expect at each stage of returning to form.
Safety, experience and trust
Safety is an absolute priority for us. Bruxism is performed by Dr Tomasz Windysz - a specialist in aesthetic medicine, with care for safety and an individual approach to the patient. Careful qualification, work in appropriate conditions and the team’s experience allow us to minimise risk and achieve repeatable, aesthetic results. In the field of aesthetic medicine, not only technique matters, but also aesthetic sense and trust between patient and doctor - and that is exactly what we build Luna Clinic on every day.
Why Luna Clinic?
Luna Clinic is an intimate, boutique clinic where not only the result matters, but also comfort, discretion and a sense of safety. We carry out bruxism treatment with attention to every detail - from the first conversation, through the procedure itself, to post-procedure care. Patients choose us for the experience of our specialists, the individual approach and the natural, harmonious results. It matters to us that every person feels heard and well informed, which is why we present the real possibilities and limitations of the given method and choose the best solution together.
How to prepare for the procedure?
Good preparation translates directly into the course and the effect. Before bruxism treatment we conduct a qualification consultation, order tests if necessary and discuss the recommendations in detail - including which agents, stimulants or activities to avoid in the days preceding the procedure. You receive all the guidance clearly and in writing, and our team remains available should any additional questions arise. We always tailor the preparation plan individually, because every situation and every patient is different.
