What is TMJ Botox?
TMJ Botox is a minimally invasive treatment where Botox is injected into the jaw muscles to relax tension and alleviate pain. It targets overactive muscles responsible for jaw clenching, teeth grinding (bruxism), and TMJ-related headaches.
Unlike surgical options, TMJ Botox is quick, safe, and has minimal recovery time.
How TMJ Botox Works
The procedure works by temporarily weakening overactive jaw muscles, which helps to:
Reduce Muscle Tension: Relieves pressure on the temporomandibular joint.
Prevent Teeth Grinding: Reduces damage to teeth caused by bruxism.
Alleviate Pain: Decreases jaw, facial, and headache pain associated with TMJ disorders.
Improve Jaw Mobility: Restores comfortable movement and reduces stiffness.
Most patients notice pain relief within 1–2 weeks, and results can last 3–6 months, making it an excellent option for chronic TMJ sufferers.
