If you wake up with headaches, jaw soreness, or feel yourself grinding your teeth throughout the day, you’re not alone. Jaw clenching and teeth grinding — often linked to stress — can take a serious toll on your comfort, facial structure, and long-term oral health. Fortunately, there’s a simple, non-surgical solution.
Lets Talk about jaw clenching
Jaw clenching (also called bruxism) can cause more than just discomfort — it can also lead to migraines, enamel damage, TMJ symptoms, and even a visibly widened jaw over time. Many clients don’t even realize they’re clenching or grinding, especially if it happens during sleep. If left untreated, it can affect everything from facial balance to quality of life.

What Causes Jaw Clenching and Bruxism?List Item 1
Most cases of jaw clenching are related to stress or anxiety, but they can also stem from sleep disorders, alignment issues, or an overactive masseter muscle. The masseter is one of the strongest muscles in the body — responsible for chewing and clenching — and when it’s overused, it can become enlarged, contributing to both discomfort and facial bulkiness.

How We Can HelpList Item 2
At About Face Aesthetics & Wellness, we treat jaw clenching by targeting the root of the problem: muscle tension. Using Botox in the masseter muscle, we help relax the overactive areas without affecting your ability to chew or speak. Many clients find that this treatment also subtly slims the jawline, creating a softer, more contoured appearance as a bonus.
Potential treatments for Jaw Clenching
Botox for Masseter Reduction
Botox is injected into the masseter muscles to relax tension, reduce clenching and grinding, and provide relief from associated TMJ symptoms. Over time, this treatment can also slim the lower face by reducing muscle bulk.
