TMJ Botox Treatment
What is TMJ Botox Treatment?
Botox for the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is a non-surgical treatment used to relieve jaw pain, tension, and discomfort caused by TMJ disorders (TMD). By relaxing the overactive jaw muscles, Botox helps alleviate symptoms such as teeth grinding (bruxism), jaw clenching, and headaches.
Botox works by temporarily blocking nerve signals to the muscles responsible for jaw movement. This helps reduce excessive muscle activity, relieving pain and tension in the jaw, temples, and surrounding areas.
