BOTOX® and TMJ: What You Should Know About BOTOX® for TMJ
Masseter BOTOX® or jawline BOTOX® makes the jawline look slimmer and more V-shaped by reducing the size of heavy or bulky jaw muscles, but these injections can also be beneficial for temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) that cause pain and discomfort in the jaw. These treatments are called BOTOX® for TMJ.
Overuse of the jaw muscles, grinding, and teeth clenching can all cause these muscles to become enlarged. By blocking nerve signals to the masseter, BOTOX® prevents the muscles from being able to move.
BOTOX® for TMJ involves injections into the jaw muscles or masseter muscles. These treatments are designed to help manage facial pain and provide relief for symptoms of TMJ disorders. BOTOX® injections reduce jaw clenching, jaw pain, TMJ soreness, tension headaches, neck pain, and shoulder tension. In severe cases of bruxism or teeth grinding, TMJ BOTOX® may be more effective than other approaches such as lifestyle changes or mouthguards. By relaxing the jaw, BOTOX® stops the teeth clenching.
The procedure for TMJ BOTOX® typically will only take 15 minutes or less to be completed, and there is no recovery time. Remember that the treatment is temporary, and effects will wear off within three to four months.
