Treatment for TMJ

Botox may be an alternative treatment for TMJ in some people by significantly decreasing pain and improving muscle movement in your mouth.You may benefit most from this treatment if other methods haven’t worked. Botox may help treat the following symptoms:
  • Jaw tension
  • headaches due to teeth grinding
  • lockjaw in cases of severe stress

How Does it Work?

Botox is injected into the jaw muscles. The injections will cause the jaw muscles to relax which can bring pain relief and decreased TMJ symptoms. After a few months, the results will wear off and require more injections for continuous relief.
