TMJ (temporomandibular joint) pain can disrupt your daily life with jaw soreness, headaches, and difficulty chewing. While traditional treatments like splints, medications, and physiotherapy help, many patients are now turning to Botox injections for fast, targeted relief.
What is TMJ Disorder?
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) connects your jaw to your skull and allows for chewing, speaking, and facial movement. TMJ disorders can result from:
Teeth grinding (bruxism)
Jaw clenching
Stress or anxiety
Injury or trauma
Misaligned bite
Common symptoms include jaw pain, stiffness, popping or clicking sounds, headaches, and earaches.
How Botox Helps TMJ Pain
Botox (botulinum toxin) works by relaxing overactive muscles around the jaw. This helps:
Reduce muscle tension in the jaw and temples
Alleviate TMJ-related headaches
Prevent teeth grinding and clenching
Improve jaw mobility and comfort
Unlike surgical treatments, Botox is non-invasive, quick, and minimally uncomfortable, with effects that can last 3–6 months.
What to Expect During Treatment
A Botox session for TMJ pain is typically 10–20 minutes:
Your dentist examines your jaw and identifies overactive muscles
Botox is injected into targeted muscles using fine needles
You can resume normal activities immediately
Most patients notice improvement within a few days, with full benefits appearing over 1–2 weeks.
