Biological & Anatomical Mechanism
Targeted botulinum toxin lowers the peak isometric bite pressure of the masseter muscle fibers, breaking the neuromuscular feedback loop of nocturnal grinding while maintaining resting masticatory tone.
The Plastic Surgeon Advantage
Treating functional bruxism requires precise calibration between muscular relief and bite stability. Dr. Purohit’s deep knowledge of craniomaxillofacial anatomy ensures the ideal balance—eliminating painful spasms without causing bite weakness or smile distortion.
Ideal Candidate Profile
- Patients who wake up with severe jaw soreness, stiffness, or morning headaches.
- Dentists recommending jaw muscle relaxation to protect worn teeth or dental veneers.
- Individuals who cannot tolerate bulky, uncomfortable plastic night guards while sleeping.
- Patients suffering from clicking, popping, or tension around the TMJ.
Essential Aftercare Protocol
- Avoid hard, chewy foods (chewing gum, hard candy, tough meats) for the first 7 days.
- Do not massage the lower cheeks or jaw corners for 48 hours.
- Continue using your dental guard for the first 10 days until the neurotoxin fully takes effect.
