Has anyone had Botox for bruxism?

anybody?

No

I have because bruxism for me also causes bad migraines. But I can tell you that it absolutely does not work for me. That needle goes 3/4 of an inch into my jaw. It isnt very pleasant. It maybe works for a day to ease the pain but it doesnt work to solve my problem. However a dentist did tell me that braces should fix that problem. The problem is that I dont have th 5k to spend on it. Good luck.

I don't see how braces or botox would solve bruxism. Only thing you can really do is prevent teeth destruction by wearing a mouth guard. I'd suggest one of the soft plastic ones (not the more common hard plastic) that's been molded to the shape of your mouth.

I wear one. At first, the idea of wearing something like that for the rest of my life was a little unnerving. Now, I never go to sleep without it. I'd like to keep my teeth.

Bruxism is often caused by a parasite infection.

Do a parasite cleanse.

My husband has. It only lasts about 3 months for him though...

I sleep with a gum guard in my mouth. Makes a big difference, I wake up with headaches if I forget.

Botox for migraines? Anyone try it?

Na, and it was Ivermectin didn't fix it, so...NA...

You absolutely must have a good mouthguard if you have bruxism. A good one is 350 to 700 bucks.

I actually like wearing my mouth guard, takes no time to get used to it if its fit properly.

The soft one makes you chew, even if its hard on the oustide, the new science on bruxism is to use only hard guards, the un-tearble digitally fit vinyl ones last for years and years.

OP you should go to a TMJ specialist, some people have bruxism from breathing issues, they can get you a mouthguard that pulls your bottom jaw slightly forward opening your airway. Few thousand bucks to figure it out though unless your insurance will pay.
