Bruxism, or the "gnashing of teeth" is an oral habit that occurs in most humans at some time in their lives, usually during stressful times. In most people, bruxism is mild enough not to be a health problem and only causes minor discomfort.
Bruxism can occur both during the day or night, but it is during sleep that the majority of health issues can occur, this includes during short naps. Bruxism is one of the most common sleep disorders which accompanies Sleep Apnea. Some bruxism activity is rhythmic (like chewing), and some is sustained such as clenching. Researchers classify bruxism as "a habitual behaviour", and also a sleep disorder.
While Neurotoxin, also known as botulinum toxin, is known for its wrinkle-reducing power, various internal and external factors can affect its longevity. Nutrient deficiencies (especially zinc), medications like PPI's and antibiotics, suboptimal dosing, high metabolism, cold chain issues, and even poor gut health can all contribute to the faster breakdown of the Neurotoxin. At Skin Renewal, our doctor-led approach ensures that these variables are carefully considered for every patient. Learn more about why botulinum toxin might not last as long for some individuals.
Bruxism treatments are available in Gauteng at the Morningside, Parkhurst, Rosebank, Bedfordview, Fourways, West Rand, Irene, Waterfall, Irene, Lynnwood and Brooklyn clinics, as well as in the Western Cape at Cape Quarter, Claremont, Constantia, Century City, Stellenbosch, Paarl and Willowbridge clinics, and Kwa-Zulu Natal at the Ballito, Durban and Umhlanga clinics.
The symptoms of Bruxism and jaw clenching while sleeping, commonly accompany Sleep Apnea or Upper Respiratory Airway Syndrome, which if left untreated, can lead to a multitude of other serious health concerns.
Undiagnosed and untreated sleep disorders can lead to problems such as insomnia, weight gain, short term memory loss, Alzheimer's disease, depression, anxiety, panic attacks, insulin resistance, coronary artery disease, atrial fibrillation, reflux, IBS, erectile dysfunction, glaucoma, CFS (chronic fatigue syndrome) and even SCD (sudden cardiac death).
A novel treatment for this condition is to weaken the masseter muscles of the jaw with strategically placed injections. These weaken the muscle enough to reduce the effects of grinding and clenching, but not enough to prevent proper use of the muscle. The procedure involves about five or six relatively painless injections, and patients start feeling the effects the following day with migraines usually dissipating by the end of the first week. Injections need to done every six months to maintain the results, but the habit is usually broken after the second round of treatment.
Botox® and Dysport® may wear off sooner due to factors like sub-optimal dosing, zinc deficiency, medication interactions (such as PPIs or antibiotics), improper product storage, or rapid metabolism. Lifestyle factors and your body's unique response contribute to botulinum toxin longevity.
