Bruxism
A tense, square jawline is often the result of overactive jaw muscles from teeth grinding or clenching (bruxism). This not only alters facial shape, but can also lead to discomfort, tension headaches, and tooth wear. At Dr. Derme, we offer advanced treatments that relax these overworked jaw muscles, providing relief from bruxism while also creating a softer, more refined jawline.
Book your consultation today to discover how addressing bruxism can protect your teeth, ease jaw tension, and restore balance to your facial profile.

What Is Bruxism?
Bruxism is the medical term for involuntary teeth grinding or jaw clenching, often leading to jaw pain, headaches, and tooth wear. Over time, this constant muscle activity can lead to jaw pain, headaches, worn-down teeth, and a heavier-looking jawline as the masseter muscles enlarge from overuse.
Non-Surgical Option
It offers a non-surgical solution, making it possible to achieve noticeable results without invasive surgery or lengthy recovery times.
Natural Results
Results develop gradually, ensuring a natural-looking outcome that blends seamlessly with your existing facial features.
Quick and Convenient
Because it is quick and convenient, most appointments take only a few minutes, with no interruption to daily routines.
How Does Jawline Slimming Help Bruxism?
Jawline slimming treatments work by relaxing the masseter muscles, the powerful chewing muscles responsible for clenching and grinding. In people with bruxism, these muscles become overactive. This dual benefit makes jawline slimming an effective way to manage the symptoms of bruxism while also achieving a more refined and balanced jawline.
Reduces Teeth Grinding
By calming the masseter muscles, this treatment helps stop excessive clenching, protecting the teeth from further wear and damage caused by grinding.
Relieves Jaw Tension
Jawline slimming relaxes the overactive jaw muscles, easing tightness and reducing daily discomfort or stiffness in the jaw.
Slims The Lower Face
Jawline slimming helps create a softer, more contoured appearance, giving the lower face a slimmer and more balanced shape.
