With our specialized approach, you can experience lasting relief and regain comfort in your day-to-day activities.
Botox is widely known for its cosmetic benefits, but it also has powerful therapeutic applications for TMJ disorders and bruxism. Temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ) occurs when the muscles around the jaw are overworked or misaligned, leading to pain, stiffness, and frequent headaches.
-
Botox works by relaxing the overactive muscles in the jaw that contribute to clenching, grinding, and tension. By temporarily blocking nerve signals to these muscles, Botox helps reduce the force exerted during clenching and grinding, relieving strain on the TMJ.
-
For chronic headaches caused by tension and muscle strain, Botox can help by reducing muscle activity that contributes to pain. Many patients report significant reduction in headache frequency and intensity after treatment.
-
For bruxism (teeth grinding), Botox decreases the strength of the masseter muscles, which are often responsible for excessive grinding, especially at night. This not only relieves pain but also prevents long-term damage to your teeth caused by grinding.
