Botox® for TMJ Relief

For patients with clenching or grinding (bruxism), Botox treatment can be highly effective.

Botox works by relaxing overactive jaw muscles, reducing the tension that causes pain, headaches, and jaw fatigue. Treatment typically involves 40–50 units, carefully placed into the masseter (jaw) muscles.

Benefits include:
• Relief from jaw pain and tightness
• Reduced teeth grinding and clenching
• Fewer tension headaches
• Slimming effect of the jawline (bonus aesthetic benefit)

Results are usually noticeable within a few days to 1–2 weeks and can last 3–4 months.
