What the assessment covers
The jaw does a great deal of work, and clenching or grinding can show up as tension, wear, headaches or a change in the shape of the lower face. This assessment looks at all of those together rather than treating appearance in isolation.
- History of clenching, grinding and jaw pain
- Muscle activity and how it varies through the day
- Facial balance and how the jawline has changed over time
- Whether dental review should come first
- Options, their limitations and their risks
Who it suits
- You wake with jaw tension or headaches
- A dentist has raised grinding with you
- You notice jaw muscle bulk changing over time
- You want function and comfort assessed, not just appearance
Dental first, sometimes
Where wear, pain or dental causes are prominent, we will say so and recommend dental review before any cosmetic conversation continues.
What happens next
If assessment concludes that an option may be appropriate, it is explained in full — expected outcomes, risks, alternatives, aftercare — and consent is unhurried. If it concludes otherwise, you will be told plainly. See the consultations guide for how that conversation runs.
Frequently asked
Jaw muscle relaxation questions
Is this treatment for teeth grinding?
The appointment is an assessment of the jaw and surrounding musculature, including grinding and clenching patterns. Whether any option is appropriate follows from that assessment.
Should I see my dentist first?
Often yes, particularly where there is dental wear or pain. If that applies, you will be told at your consultation rather than treated.
Will it change how my face looks?
Any effect on facial balance is part of the discussion, alongside function and comfort. Realistic expectations are set before anything proceeds.
Do I need a consultation before treatment?
Yes. A consultation is required so suitability can be assessed and risks, alternatives and aftercare explained.
