Jaw Clenching / Teeth Grinding

Our team can provide consultations regarding conditions such as jaw clenching, teeth grinding (bruxism), and temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD) by moderating muscle activity.

Situated at the rear of the jaw, the masseter muscles play a role in chewing and jaw clenching. Overdevelopment of these muscles can lead to TMJ pain, headaches, and result in a broader or more square facial appearance.

If you would like to talk to a health professional about any of the above conditions, please schedule a consultation with the Kanvasd team. During the consultation, the healthcare provider will assess your condition, discuss your medical history, and determine a suitable option for you.

  • We provide a thorough consultation to discuss your concerns and goals and provide all of the necessary information you need to make an informed decision regarding appointments.

    Our trained medical professionals will guide you each step of the way to ensure you are as comfortable as possible for your appointment.

  • The duration of treatments can vary from person to person.

    Several factors that can influence longevity include:

    • Metabolism: The rate in which your body metabolises can impact results

    • Muscle Activity: The targeted muscles activity and strength can impact how long results persist.

    • Frequency: Regularly scheduled consultations may lead to prolonged effects.

    • No Aspirin, Nurofen or blood thinning anti-inflammatories the day before your appointment

    • Cease alcohol consumption for 24 hours prior to your appointment

    • Where possible, please attend your appointment with no make-up
