Bruxism Botox: A Dentist at Sinsa Station Explains the Effects, Treatment Interval, Pain, and Price

Hello?

I’m Paik Won-seon, the lead dentist at Rev Dental Clinic in Sinsa Station.

Today, I’d like to make a brief post about bruxism Botox.

As the name “bruxism Botox” suggests, Botox used in dentistry is usually administered at a higher dose than cosmetic Botox, by finding the exact injection points. In general, we use Botox products with relatively low resistance.

Bruxism Botox: where does the medication act?

The two main muscles that primarily work to close the mouth are the masseter and the temporalis.

In Korean, they are called the masseter muscle and the temporalis muscle. The area that protrudes and can be felt in the cheek when you clench your teeth is the masseter, and the area that protrudes and can be felt at the side of the head is the temporalis.

The goal and effect of treatment is to reduce the strength of these two muscles and help reduce the habit of bruxism at night.

How often should bruxism Botox be done?

This is the result obtained by searching Gemini for more accurate information.

When you receive bruxism Botox, it takes 1–2 weeks before you can feel the effect. After about 3 months, you will clearly notice that bruxism has decreased.

By around 6 months, everything returns to normal, so I recommend receiving treatment at intervals of about 3–6 months.

Of course, responses to all medications vary from person to person, so there is no fixed interval, and your own experience and the doctor’s diagnosis are also very important. At our Rev Dental Clinic near Sinsa Station, we recommend a second bruxism Botox treatment 3 months after the first one, and then treatments at intervals of about 6 months thereafter.

How painful is bruxism Botox!?!?!?

At Rev Dental Clinic, before injecting bruxism Botox, we take enough time to allow you to apply an ice pack near the masseter or temporalis muscle.

If you cool and numb the skin more than you might expect, there is almost no pain. And the injection itself is not very painful. From my experience... compared with most aesthetic procedures, it’s really nothing at all!!!!!...

Aesthetic Botox that is effectively used in dentistry?

Source: Gummy Smile: Mercado-Rosso Classification System and Dynamic Restructuring with Hyaluronic Acid | Aesthetic Plastic Surgery Did you know that Botox is also unexpectedly used in dentistry to address a gummy smile? A smile in which a lot of gum shows when smiling is called a gummy smile in English.

If Botox is injected into the area beside the nose, called the Yonsei Point, the upper lip comes down quite a bit (because the muscle loses strength), and you can create a beautiful smile line! You can also receive this treatment in plastic surgery clinics, but it can be done quite simply at a dental clinic.

For people whose gummy smile is really severe, additional injections into the orbicularis oris can improve the gummy smile more effectively!!

Is there a Botox product that Dr. Baek recommends?

If there is a Botox product I recommend, it would of course be one with low resistance.

These days, Botox has become so widely distributed and is used so much that... products with low resistance are more preferred in reality.

Germany’s Xeomin is known as the most expensive product, and Coretox from Medytox is a domestic product made by benchmarking it.

It is a product whose purchase price is 4–5 times higher than ordinary low-cost products... so if you’re already getting high-dose bruxism Botox, I recommend getting it with a good Botox product!!!

What if one day the Botox suddenly doesn’t work...... That’s why our Sinsa Rev Dental Clinic uses only Coretox!!

When I first got Botox, I think I was more scared than I expected (!?)

Just thinking about a needle piercing the face... and then thinking about becoming numb made it even more...

But the reality is that there is nothing more effective than bruxism Botox for treating bruxism. Of course, a bruxism appliance can help preserve the teeth to some extent and let the muscles rest, but the fact that the muscles can fundamentally be allowed to relax because they cannot exert force properly is itself truly groundbreaking!!!

If you’re going to get bruxism Botox, price is important, but since the dosage is high, I recommend getting a good Botox product. These days, aesthetic apps and hospital apps have developed so much that finding where to get treatment shouldn’t be difficult.

I hope you receive good treatment at a place where a trustworthy dentist uses trustworthy products!!!

That’s all for Dr. Baek’s dental lesson.

Thank you.
