Do you suffer from jaw tension, headaches, or teeth grinding? You might be dealing with TMJ disorder — a condition that affects the temporomandibular joints connecting your jaw to your skull.
At Pain Free Dentist Sydney, we offer Botox for TMJ treatment, a modern, non-surgical solution that provides long-lasting relief from TMJ pain, clenching, and bruxism.
What Is TMJ Disorder?
TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disorder is a condition where the jaw joints become inflamed or overactive, often due to:
Stress-related teeth grinding (bruxism)
Jaw clenching during sleep or stress
Bite misalignment
Jaw injury or arthritis
Common symptoms include:
Jaw pain or tightness
Clicking or popping sounds
Headaches or facial pain
Pain while chewing
Worn or broken teeth
How Does Botox Treat TMJ?
Botox (botulinum toxin) is carefully injected into the jaw muscles — particularly the masseter and temporalis — to:
Relax overactive muscles
Reduce clenching and grinding
Ease tension and inflammation
Protect teeth from further wear
It typically takes 3–5 days to start working, with full effects in about 2 weeks. Results last 3–6 months, depending on the patient.
