Neuromodulator treatment for bruxism not only
relieves teeth grinding and jaw tension, but also refines the face by
reducing the size of the masticatory muscles. This improves facial contour, prevents dental
pain and wear, and provides
effective and long-lasting results without the need for surgery. Ideally, it is performed
twice a year.
