Teeth grinding generally happens unconsciously. How does teeth grinding/bruxism occur? And how can you get rid of teeth grinding/bruxism? Doctors can treat the overly tense muscle with botulinum toxin (also known as Botox). That is why you can often go to injectables clinics for this treatment. In this article, you will read everything about the treatment of teeth grinding/bruxism!

The staff and doctors all are very kind and helpful and the result of my salmon DNA and exosomes is great.
Despite the pressure they had, they were very organized.
I also had a small tooth fracture that I wasn’t aware of, and he showed it to me and explained exactly how it should be treated. I truly appreciate his honesty and detailed guidance.
Thank you, Doctor Option, for your excellent work and outstanding care. Highly recommended! Show less »
What sets him apart is not just his talent, but his integrity. He personally conducts each consultation, listens with genuine care, and performs extensive health screenings to ensure absolute safety. He treats every patient like an individual, not a number, and it shows in his work and interactions with his patients.
His work is exceptional. He has a true artist’s eye—precise, natural, and deeply attentive to detail. My results were beautifully refined from the very beginning. I trusted his recommendations for both my cosmetic procedures and my postpartum diastasis recti and hernia repair, and I’m grateful I did. His skill and judgment show in every part of the outcome.
Throughout the entire process—from consult to pre-op to recovery—he has been consistent, kind, and genuinely invested in my care. It’s rare to find a surgeon who combines such technical and artistic mastery with such humility and compassion.
I’m deeply grateful for the experience I had with Dr. Abizer, and I would confidently recommend him to anyone considering cosmetic or reconstructive surgery. Show less »

What is teeth grinding?
Teeth grinding is the rubbing of the teeth and molars against each other. This can naturally cause wear on the teeth and molars. Sometimes the teeth even start to hurt or become loose. This condition arises from excessive chewing muscle activity. Because of this, some people grind their teeth while others clench their jaws. People who do this at night may also experience neck pain and headaches. You can also develop a “muscular” chewing muscle. This creates a masculine-looking jaw, which some people do not find pleasant. Stress and anxiety are seen as possible causes of teeth grinding and jaw clenching. Chewing muscle activity is controlled by the brain. About 31 percent of people do this during the day, although not everyone suffers from it. Around 12 percent of people do this in their sleep.
How do you recognise teeth grinding?
Most people grind their teeth unconsciously. Often, they need to be pointed out by someone else that they are producing a grinding sound. It can also be noticed by the dentist, who then detects wear on the teeth. If you often wake up in the morning with headaches and neck pain, this may also indicate bruxism.
Treatment for teeth grinding / bruxism
Since excessive muscle tension is the cause of teeth grinding, an obvious solution is to relax the muscles. This can be done with a muscle relaxant such as botulinum toxin. Botox is a brand of botulinum toxin. Botulinum toxin has been widely used in the medical world for 40 years, for example as a muscle relaxant against spasms. Currently, about 400,000 treatments with botulinum toxin are carried out annually in the UAE.

Treating teeth grinding with Botox
Botox, or another brand of botulinum toxin, ensures that a muscle relaxes. The doctor injects the botulinum toxin with a very small needle in the correct spot. The botulinum toxin then relaxes the targeted muscle for about 16–26 weeks. This prevents teeth grinding. Since bruxism can be stimulated by anxiety and stress, it is advisable to look for a possible solution to that in the meantime.
Another advantage of this treatment is that the chewing muscle becomes less thick. Many people who grind their teeth excessively or clench their jaws notice that the chewing muscle becomes prominent. This is also a popular treatment to feminise the face, as the jaw sometimes becomes noticeably slimmer and more feminine.

Cost of Botox for teeth grinding
The botulinum toxin rates vary greatly between different clinics. The cheapest clinic in the UAE offers this treatment for AED 600, and the most expensive clinic for AED 3,500. It is important to choose a clinic well-prepared. Some clinics base the price on the degree of excessive muscle strength in other words, whether you grind your teeth moderately or severely. Since this is difficult for you to assess, we recommend discussing this thoroughly with your doctor during the consultation.
Most injectables clinics also offer Botox treatments for bruxism. These clinics focus entirely on treatments with botulinum toxin and fillers.

Scientific basis of bruxism treatment with Botox
In a bruxism treatment, Botox relaxes the jaw muscles, reducing teeth grinding and jaw tension. At the cellular level, Botox blocks the release of acetylcholine by inhibiting SNAP-25. It is biocompatible and is safely broken down. Clinical studies confirm the effectiveness and safety (Al-Wayli et al., J Prosthet Dent, 2017).
