Bruxism Treatment in Berlin

People who suffer from bruxism constantly rub or clench their teeth together, for example in stressful situations. At night this is known as sleep bruxism and during the day as awake bruxism. Although this habit may seem harmless at first glance, bruxism can have serious consequences. At AIVA in Berlin, we want to help you not only protect your teeth, but also minimise the discomfort caused by bruxism, such as neck pain, headaches, back pain and sleep disorders.

Effective Against Bruxism: Treatment at AIVA in Berlin

You may have heard of night guards or mouth guards in this context. Although these can prevent the abrasion of the teeth, they cannot stop the clenching of the jaw, which causes enormous muscle tension – after all, the chewing muscle is the strongest in the body. This is exactly where we want to start – by relaxing the muscle that causes the clenching in the first place. During bruxism treatment at our institute in Berlin, we use botulinum toxin (Botox®) to permanently relax the chewing muscles and reduce or prevent clenching. You are welcome to make an appointment for treatment.

Bruxism, which we treat at our institute in Berlin, is a symptom – the causes are not fully understood medically. In the past, it was thought to be caused by craniomandibular dysfunction, but we now know that the psyche and stress in particular are important factors.

TREATMENT
Before bruxism treatment
1. Initial consultation & examination: We discuss your medical history and complaints. A thorough examination will determine the severity of the condition.
2. Consultation & explanation: At AIVA in Berlin, we believe in transparency and in-depth consultation. We explain the treatment steps, possible risks and side effects, and inform you about the costs.
The treatment
1. Preparation: You take a comfortable, lying position. The skin in the area of the injection is cleaned, disinfected and lightly numbed if necessary.
2. Botox® injection: We use a fine needle to inject the active ingredient into the affected muscle areas (masseter muscle and, depending on the findings, also the temporal muscle). This takes about 20 minutes. Based on the previous examination and the severity of the muscle contractions, the dosage will be tailored precisely to you in order to achieve the best results.
3. Conclusion: After the treatment, we will clean the injection sites again and give you care instructions. You can return to your daily activities immediately.
Aftercare
1. After the treatment: No special aftercare is needed. Any slight redness or swelling at the injection site will disappear within a few days and can be covered with make-up. Please avoid strenuous physical activity for two days and sauna, solarium or facial treatments for one week.
2. Follow-up appointments: Bruxism treatment at our clinic in Berlin reduces or prevents teeth clenching for about four to six months, after which the Botox® is gradually broken down by the body. To maintain the effect, the treatment should be repeated two to three times a year. With regular injections, the intervals can be extended over time.

AIVA – Upgrade Your Health

While dentists can primarily prevent damage to the teeth with the help of special splints or mouth guards, we want to go one step further and minimise the bruxism itself and the health problems it causes. Because the constant clenching of the teeth and the associated muscular effort can cause tension in the neck, shoulders and back, as well as frequent headaches.

We use Botox® to reduce the activity of the chewing muscles. Best known for its use in treating wrinkles, Botox® reduces the transmission of impulses between nerves and muscles, thereby reducing the force of contraction. Studies have shown that botulinum toxin is significantly more effective than splint therapy. The precise dosage and positioning of the injection is very important – at AIVA you will find only experienced specialists in Botox® treatment.

Advantages of Bruxism Treatment at Our Institute in Berlin:

Pain relief: Headaches, jaw pain or other tension pains are reduced.
Prevention of tooth damage: The reduced muscle activity prevents heavy clenching and tooth wear.
Quick results: The effect is usually felt within a few days, leading to an immediate relief of the symptoms.
Improved quality of life: After bruxism therapy at AIVA in Berlin, you will benefit from a greater sense of well-being and more restful sleep.

Focus on your health – for a better quality of life

Waking or sleeping bruxism can affect your daily life and your nightly rest. Treatment with us in Berlin can relieve pain and other complaints such as fatigue. Do you feel generally exhausted and suspect a nutrient or vitamin deficiency? Or would you like to have your blood count and vital signs checked regularly to detect illnesses or deficiencies early? In addition to treating your bruxism, having a medical check-up can help identify possible biological factors.

We would be happy to advise you on appropriate combination treatments – just ask us about this when you make your appointment.

FAQ About Bruxism Treatment at AIVA in Berlin

Who is bruxism treatment with Botox® suitable for?

At AIVA in Berlin, we treat all patients who suffer from clenching of the jaw or teeth and who may have already tried splint therapy without success. Botox® is well tolerated and very low risk.
Can bruxism treatment help with sleep apnoea?

Research shows that bruxism can be a risk factor for episodes of nocturnal apnoea. Bruxism therapy can help reduce sleep apnoea – but it is not a substitute for targeted medical treatment of apnoea.
Does bruxism treatment also have visible effects?

Our team of specialists in Berlin is often asked whether Botox® for bruxism restricts facial expression or chewing function. If the dosage is correct, it simply prevents excessive clenching, allowing you to continue chewing, biting and smiling naturally. A positive side effect may be a slight narrowing of the face if it appears angular due to the pronounced jaw muscle.
How long does the effect of the treatment last?

How quickly the botulinum toxin is broken down depends on individual physical factors – it usually takes three to six months. After that, a new injection is required. The longer Botox® is used, the smaller the muscle becomes over time, so that longer intervals are sufficient to stop the bruxism.
Is Botox® safe?

The manufacturing of Botox® for medical use is subject to the strictest criteria and specifications, and like medicine, goes through a lengthy approval process. Applied by experienced doctors, it is possible to achieve targeted muscle reduction without paralysing the entire muscle. You can rely on our specialists in Berlin for highly precise bruxism treatment.
