Bruxism is the general term for teeth grinding and jaw clenching — common habits that many people do during the day or while sleeping. When it becomes regular or severe, it can contribute to issues like headaches, jaw discomfort, facial tension, teeth wear, and sometimes changes in facial shape over time. Bruxism is usually classified as either sleep bruxism (during sleep) or awake bruxism (while awake).

Dental treatment focuses on minimising the impact on the teeth and repairing any damage that may have occurred due to teeth grinding. Oral appliances like an occlusal splint or dental guards are used to minimise damage to the teeth. However, these appliances have a limited effect on bruxism itself.     

Other measures include psychotherapy and meditation to reduce stress. Besides, steps like reducing caffeine and alcohol intake may also prove helpful.     

Botulinum Toxin injections are one of the most effective therapies for bruxism. They are administered to reduce the activity of the muscles involved in bruxism, offering relief for teeth grinding and jaw clenching.     

Management often starts with minimising the impact on the teeth — for example, using dental guards or splints. Stress management strategies such as relaxation techniques may also help.  Other measures include psychotherapy and meditation to reduce stress. Besides, steps like reducing caffeine and alcohol intake may also prove helpful.  At Bryght, our experienced team can guide you through other non-surgical options during a consultation, to help relieve tension and address concerns related to bruxism.

Sweating is a normal body function that helps regulate temperature. However, for some people, sweat glands are overactive, causing them to sweat far more than necessary — a condition known as hyperhidrosis. This can affect areas such as the hands, feet, underarms, face and scalp, and sometimes impacts daily confidence. Hyperhidrosis may be primary (not linked to another condition) or secondary (linked to an underlying medical issue). A thorough consultation with a healthcare professional is recommended to find the right management plan for you.

At Bryght, we offer individualised consultations to understand your concerns and determine suitable non-surgical treatment options for excessive sweating.

Some people seek a softer or more contoured look through the neck and shoulders. Our practitioners provide consultations to discuss non-surgical options that can help relax tension and refine the appearance of the trapezius area, where appropriate.

Longevity varies between clients, depending on factors like lifestyle, metabolism and the area treated. Generally, non-surgical treatments for concerns like facial lines, teeth grinding or excessive sweating may require follow-up visits to help maintain your results. Your practitioner will discuss an individual plan that suits you best.

When performed by qualified healthcare professionals, non-surgical cosmetic treatments are generally considered safe. As with any treatment, there can be temporary side effects which your practitioner will explain during your consultation. We ensure every treatment plan is delivered to the highest standard of care.

Your practitioner will provide tailored advice before your treatment. In general, you may be asked to avoid certain activities or medications for a short time beforehand. It’s recommended to plan your appointment well in advance of any special events.

Most clients resume normal activities shortly after a non-surgical treatment. Your practitioner will advise you on simple aftercare steps to help you get the best results.

Suitability depends on your medical history and treatment goals. Adults over 18 seeking to soften the look of lines or manage issues like excessive sweating or jaw tension may be good candidates. Pregnant or breastfeeding clients, or those with certain medical conditions, may not be suitable. A thorough consultation ensures your treatment is safe and appropriate for you.
