Botox Injection for TMJ

Botox injections are an effective, non-surgical treatment option for temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders. The treatment works by relaxing the muscles responsible for jaw clenching, grinding (bruxism), and excessive tension, which are common causes of TMJ-related pain and discomfort.

Botox is carefully injected into targeted jaw muscles, such as the masseter and temporalis, to reduce muscle activity. This can lead to decreased jaw pain, fewer headaches, improved jaw movement, and reduced facial tension. Many patients also notice relief from teeth grinding and improved sleep quality.

The procedure is quick, minimally invasive, and performed by trained medical professionals. There is little to no downtime, and results typically begin to appear within a few days, lasting several months. Botox for TMJ offers a safe and effective alternative for patients seeking relief without surgery.
