Botox injected into the jaw muscles can reduce the force of clenching and grinding. The clinic's published fee is ₩90,000 to ₩150,000 per session. It is considered after an examination, and the dentist may suggest it alongside a night guard, which has no published fee and is quoted after examination.
What Dental Botox Treats
In dentistry, botulinum toxin (Botox) is used to relax overactive chewing muscles. People who clench or grind their teeth, often in their sleep, may wear down enamel, wake with jaw tension or have headaches linked to the jaw.
Reducing muscle activity can lessen the force on the teeth and joint. It treats the muscle, not the cause, and it is not suitable for everyone. The dentist first checks your teeth, bite and jaw for signs of grinding and other possible causes of your symptoms.
Signs that prompt a visit include flattened or chipped tooth edges, sensitivity, a tired or tight jaw in the morning, a visibly strong jaw muscle, and a partner who hears grinding at night. None of these proves bruxism on its own, which is why an examination comes first.
Some patients also ask about slimming the lower face. The clinic offers a separate V-line package, covered on the TMJ page, and results depend on your case.
Tell the dentist about all medicines, allergies, pregnancy or breastfeeding, and any nerve or muscle conditions, since these affect whether the treatment is appropriate.
- Worn or chipped teeth with no clear cause
- Jaw tightness or fatigue on waking
- Headaches the dentist links to jaw muscles
- Strong jaw muscles you want assessed
Jaw Botox for Taepyeong, Moran, Sujin and Bundang Residents
The clinic is by Taepyeong Station Exit 5 in Sujin-dong, Seongnam. It is convenient for people living in Taepyeong, Moran, Sujin and Sinheung, and for those arriving from Bundang or the Gachon University area on the Suin-Bundang Line.
A session is short, but follow-up is sometimes needed, so ask about timing. The clinic is open Mon–Wed 09:30–20:30, Thu 09:30–19:00, Fri 09:30–18:30 and Sat 09:30–13:00, with no lunch break; it is closed on Sundays and open on public holidays.
Before booking, it can help to note when symptoms occur: on waking, during stressful days, or while chewing. Bring any earlier dental or medical records that mention grinding or jaw problems.
The dentist will explain what the treatment can and cannot do, and what you should expect in the days afterward. We do not state travel times, so check your route in a map app.
Price
The published fee is ₩90,000 or ₩150,000 per session. Which applies depends on the plan agreed at your consultation.
The examination and consultation are quoted after examination, except that the English consultation for international patients is published as free of charge.
It is worth asking about the whole plan, including how many sessions the dentist expects, how results will be judged, and what the next step is if botox does not help. A clear plan avoids paying for repeated sessions without benefit.
Pregnant or breastfeeding patients, and those with certain muscle or nerve conditions, are generally advised against botox. Always give an honest medical history.
- Jaw botox: ₩90,000 – ₩150,000 per session
- TMJ splint (separate): ₩600,000
- V-line package (separate): ₩700,000
Prices are as published; confirm at consultation.
Session Details
Exact steps are decided by your dentist. A typical visit looks like this.
Do not rub the treated area right after the session, and follow the dentist's guidance on exercise and lying down. Effects are gradual.
Mild tenderness or small marks at the injection points can occur. Tell the clinic if anything seems unusual, if you notice weakness that worries you, or if symptoms worsen.
Assessment
The dentist reviews your symptoms, medical history and examines the jaw muscles.
Treatment
Small injections are made into the chosen muscles. Sessions are brief.
Aftercare
You receive advice on what to avoid right after, and when to come back for review.
Review
Effects build over time and vary between patients, so a review shows whether further sessions make sense.
Combined with a Night Guard
Botox and a night guard do different jobs. The guard protects the teeth from contact, while botox lowers muscle force. Some patients use both.
The clinic does not publish a night guard fee, so it is quoted after examination. The dentist can explain whether you need one, the other, or both.
A night guard is worn on the teeth for protection, which is useful if enamel is already worn. Ask your dentist which approach fits the severity of your grinding.
If your main problem is a clicking or painful jaw joint, the TMJ splint at ₩600,000 is a separate option. A clinical examination decides which is relevant.
| Jaw botox | Night guard | |
|---|---|---|
| What it does | Lowers muscle force | Protects teeth from contact |
| Published fee | ₩90,000 to ₩150,000 per session | Quoted after examination |
| Repeat needed | Often, as effects fade | Worn nightly and checked at visits |
| May suit | Strong muscle activity | Worn enamel or sensitive teeth |

No, and it does not promise that. It reduces muscle strength, and effects vary between patients.

No. Pregnancy, certain medicines and some health conditions can make it unsuitable, so tell the dentist your full history.
How long do results last?
This varies, and repeat sessions are common. The dentist will give you an expectation for your case.
Do I need to see a dentist first?
Yes. An examination is needed to confirm that clenching or grinding is the cause.
Botox or a night guard, which should I choose?
It depends on your case. A guard protects teeth, botox reduces muscle force, and some people use both. The night guard fee is quoted after examination.

Reducing a strong jaw muscle can alter the lower face for some people, but results depend on your case. The V-line package is listed separately at ₩700,000.
