TMJ Treatment

Support for TMJ Disorders

The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) connects your jaw to your skull. Overuse or clenching of the surrounding muscles can cause pain, tension, and difficulty opening or closing the mouth. Botulinum toxin may help by:

• Relaxing jaw muscles to relieve pain
• Reducing clenching and grinding
• Improving comfort and jaw mobility
• Protecting teeth from damage caused by bruxism (teeth grinding)

We use Botulinum Toxin Treatments (Botox) to treat TMJ Disorders. 

What Is Botulinum Toxin?

Botulinum toxin (commonly known as Botox®) is a purified protein that relaxes targeted muscles by blocking the nerve signals that cause them to contract. While it’s best known for cosmetic uses, it is also widely used in dentistry to help relieve pain and tension caused by muscle overuse in the face and jaw.

What to Expect During Treatment

• Quick and Comfortable: Injections are performed using an ultra-fine needle, and most treatments take only 10–20 minutes.
• Minimal Downtime: You can return to your normal activities right after treatment.
• Gradual Results: Improvements typically appear within a few days and last about 3–4 months.

Is Botulinum Toxin (Botox) Right for You?

Botulinum toxin is a safe, effective option for many patients seeking cosmetic improvements or relief from facial pain and tension. During your consultation, we’ll discuss your goals, medical history, and whether this treatment is right for you.
