Bruxism
Bruxism
El Bruxismo es una condición médica donde, de forma inconsciente se contrae constantemente la musculatura que utilizamos en la masticación. Frecuentemente es causa de estrés, apnea obstructiva del sueño o la obesidad. El Bruxismo puede causar dolor y la hipertrofia de los músculos que rodean la mandíbula, produciendo tensión y mayor volumen de estos. También puede producir precozmente la marcación de bandas cervicales. Las inyecciones de neuromoduladores se utilizan en este caso para disminuir el dolor y relajar el músculo “Masetero”. Este músculo es el que se hipertrofia más con este tipo de condición e inyectando neuromoduladores disminuye la tensión y el volumen en esta área.
Procedure
During the treatment the patient will lay down on the medical chair as comfortable as possible. Anaesthesia is not normally used for toxin injection as it is not a significantly painful procedure. However, depending on the tolerance of the patient, an anaesthetic cream is applied before the procedure. After cleaning the area of the that will be treated, the points where the toxin will be injected are marked with a fine and delicate needle for the greatest possible comfort of the patient.
Aftercare and Results
The results can be seen after the third - fourth day, where more tension will be noticed at the beginning in the infiltrated areas and therefore it will be more difficult to form the wrinkle when contracting the muscles. They may appear "purple" and have some swelling, however this rarely occurs. After 15 days the toxin review will be carried out to correct the details and achieve the best possible result. The duration of the treatment varies between 4 - 6 months depending on the metabolism of each patient.
