Relieve jaw tension, ease teeth grinding & restore comfort
Botox® is a safe injectable commonly used for smoothing wrinkles but it’s also effective for treating TMJ (temporomandibular joint) dysfunction. It helps reduce bruxism, jaw pain, headaches, and facial tightness.
What is Botox® for TMJ & what can it treat?
Whether caused by stress, daily habits, or muscle imbalances, Botox® offers a non-invasive solution to manage these symptoms. Botox® for TMJ involves injecting small, targeted doses into the masseter (and occasionally temporalis) muscles. This temporarily relaxes overactive muscles that contribute to:
Chronic jaw tension & soreness
Teeth grinding and clenching (bruxism)
Tension headaches & temple pain
Limited jaw movement or jaw fatigue
Why choose Botox® for TMJ?
Botox® offers effective relief with key benefits for TMJ management. By relaxing the overactive jaw muscles, Botox® helps ease tension, reduce teeth grinding, and relieve pain. It’s a non-surgical option with minimal downtime, offering noticeable results within days and long-lasting comfort without interrupting your daily routine.
Relieves jaw tension & discomfort
Relaxing the jaw muscles reduces strain on the TMJ, alleviating pain associated with clenching and grinding.
Reduces teeth grinding (bruxism)
Muscle relaxation helps decrease unconscious grinding and protects teeth from long-term damage.
Prevents tension headaches
Botox® eases pressure in jaw muscles, often reducing the frequency and severity of headaches.
Minimally invasive with no downtime
A quick in-clinic procedure lets you return to daily activities immediately.
What to expect during your Botox® for TMJ treatment
From start to finish, your treatment is designed to be quick, comfortable, and personalized. After a focused consultation to assess your symptoms and jaw movement, your provider will administer precise Botox® injections into the jaw muscles. Most appointments take 15–30 minutes with no downtime, allowing you to return to your day right away. Results gradually appear within the first two weeks.
Personalized consultation
We evaluate your jaw symmetry, muscle tension, and symptoms. We create a personalized injection plan tailored to your needs.
Precise injection
Using fine needles, Botox® is administered into the masseter (and temporalis as needed). The session takes just 10–20 minutes, with minimal discomfort described as light pinching.
Aftercare
You’ll receive simple post-care instructions. Avoid rubbing the area, intense jaw movement, or exercise for a few hours. Most patients return to normal activities right away.
