Bruxism

Bruxism, or teeth grinding, can impact facial appearance, and Endopeel is a treatment that may be used to address these changes.

Bruxism can lead to changes in jaw muscle size and shape, potentially altering the jawline and facial contours.

Bruxism, especially when severe or long-standing, can cause the jaw muscles to become larger and stronger due to the constant clenching and grinding.

This muscle hypertrophy can result in a wider jawline and a more prominent jaw.

Bruxism can also contribute to temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, which can further affect jaw function and facial appearance.

Target Muscles

Target Muscles:

Masseter: This is the primary muscle involved in chewing and is located on the sides of the jaw.
Temporalis: This muscle is located on the sides of the head, above the temples, and also contributes to jaw movement.

TECHNIQUE

draw a line from labial commissure downwards

Step 3 : line above the mandible convexity parallel to the 1 st line

divide in 2 the line from labial commissure to ear lobe with a vertical

1 tongue depressor towards outside from the middle line

1 tongue depressor towards inside from the middle line

middle line between the supramadibular one and the 1 st line from labial commissure to earlobe

How it Works: Endopeel works by temporarily changing the shape as the tension of the muscles, reducing their amplitude to contract and clench, which in turn reduces teeth grinding and associated pain.

Effect Duration: The effects of Endopeel for such indication typically last for 3-6 months.

Other Muscles: In some cases, depending on the severity of the bruxism, injections might also be placed in the medial pterygoid muscle, which is located on the inside of the jaw.

Conclusion :Injecting into masseter muscle is generally more than enough for bruxism, and injecting into other masticatory muscles
