What Is TMJ Treatment with Botox®?
Dentist Lyons
TMJ treatment with Botox® is a non-surgical option that may help reduce discomfort associated with temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders. Botox® works by temporarily relaxing overactive jaw muscles that contribute to clenching, grinding, tension, and jaw pain, helping relieve strain on the temporomandibular joints.
Patients experiencing symptoms such as jaw soreness, facial pain, headaches, muscle tension, or teeth grinding may benefit from Botox® as part of a comprehensive TMJ treatment plan. Treatment is quick, minimally invasive, and can often be completed during a routine office visit.
