How much botox would need in my masseters to to correct bruxism, and about how much would it cost? (photos)

frowner
Hello. I have had a bad problem with bruxism for a long time now. I ignored the problem for a long time and because of this its at the point I suffer from increasing tooth pain,am getting face pain & headaches from the habit. Im also worried I will ruin my teeth. A mouth guard only helps at night & I unconsciously grind my teeth all day long. I heard botox can prevent grinding & am wondering how many units of botox I would need and a proce estimate. I dont want a lot, just enough to kick this
