Functional Diagnostics & Botox for Bruxism

Bruxism (teeth grinding) refers to the mostly unconscious grinding of teeth and clenching of the jaw, often during sleep. It can put considerable strain on the teeth and lead to tension, jaw pain or headaches.

With functional diagnostics, we analyse the interaction between teeth, jaw joints and muscles, identify possible malfunctions and develop an individual solution to relieve discomfort and secure the function of your masticatory system in the long term.

Botox relaxes the chewing muscles in a targeted way and thereby reduces unconscious teeth grinding and jaw clenching. This can bring noticeable relief in the jaw and facial area.

After a detailed consultation, the Botox is precisely injected into the chewing muscles. The procedure usually takes only a few minutes and requires no downtime.

Coverage of the costs for Botox treatment for bruxism depends on your insurer, your plan and the individual medical indication. In many cases, the treatment is not covered as standard by statutory health insurance and must be paid privately or may be covered by supplementary insurance. A doctor's statement with a medical justification can help when applying for a subsidy or partial coverage. It is best to clarify this directly with your health insurance provider.
