How to Relieve Jaw Tension and Teeth Grinding

Monique Radatti • February 24, 2025

Do you suffer from teeth grinding (bruxism) or jaw clenching? These issues are not just uncomfortable—they can lead to chronic jaw pain, tension headaches, and even long-term damage to your teeth. Muse by Monique offers treatments that target the masseter muscle, helping to alleviate these symptoms.


The masseter is one of the main muscles responsible for chewing. For some people, this muscle becomes overactive due to stress, misalignment, or unconscious habits like teeth grinding. Over time, this overactivity can lead to:


  • Pain in the jaw and surrounding areas
  • Wear and tear on teeth
  • Tension headaches
  • A visibly square jawline


Our treatments aim to relax the overactive masseter muscle, reducing its strength and activity while still allowing normal movement for chewing and speaking. This can bring relief from symptoms associated with teeth grinding and jaw clenching, as well as help soften the appearance of a bulky or prominent jawline caused by an overdeveloped masseter muscle.


Results typically begin to show within 1-2 weeks, with full effects noticeable after a month. Many clients enjoy the benefits for several months, making this an effective and long-lasting solution for jaw-related issues.


  • Reduced Jaw Pain and Tension: By relaxing the masseter muscle, many clients notice a significant decrease in discomfort in their jaw and surrounding areas.
  • Relief from Teeth Grinding and Clenching: These treatments can prevent further damage to your teeth and help you wake up without a sore jaw or headaches.



If you’re ready to say goodbye to the pain and discomfort of teeth grinding or jaw clenching, or if you’re looking for treatments to aid with facial slimming, we’re here to help. Book a consultation with Nurse Monique at Muse by Monique to discuss your concerns and develop a treatment plan tailored to your needs.


Feel the relief and confidence that comes with a relaxed, pain-free jaw—your journey starts here.
