About the Treatment:
TMJ Botox is a medical treatment used to help relieve jaw tension, teeth grinding, and discomfort associated with temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders. Botox works by relaxing overactive jaw muscles, helping reduce muscle strain and related symptoms.
How the Treatment works?
Small amounts of Botox are injected into the jaw muscles, most commonly the masseter muscles. By relaxing these muscles, Botox helps reduce excessive clenching and grinding, which can contribute to jaw pain, headaches, and facial tension.
Treatment is performed by a trained medical provider following a consultation and evaluation.
