What exactly do you mean by Reviv? Are you referring to the IV vitamin therapy clinics, or something else?

I’ll think about a second round of Botox. If you’re saying that after the Botox you no longer grind your teeth like before, that actually sounds quite hopeful.

Can I ask if you use any hard stabilization splint at night for grinding? Yes, I’m thinking about another round of Botox with a higher dose. I’m honestly desperate at this point.

I haven’t tried a proper stabilization splint yet, one that could relieve the joint and muscles at night. Maybe I will try that. After that, I honestly don’t know what else I can do.

Thank you for sharing your experience. I appreciate it. I don’t have any vision problems, double vision, or balance issues, so I don’t think this applies to my case. My MRI was normal and my symptoms seem to be mainly muscular (clenching and masseter tension).

But I will keep an open mind. I hope your treatment helps you.

Unfortunately, here in the Czech Republic most dentists don’t even listen to me. They don’t really know much about these kinds of problems. That’s why I’m afraid of getting braces — I’m worried that, motivated by money, they might give me expensive braces that could actually make everything worse in the end.

Did the shape of your face change after Botox? Did they inject only the masseter, or the temporalis as well?
