BOTOX FOR TMJ/JAW PAIN

What is botox

Botox for TMJ/jaw pain is a non-surgical option that uses purified form of C. botulinum. This inhibits a certain chemical between the nerve that activates muscle. It blocks nerve signals and temporarily relaxes the muscles, reducing contractions and alleviating pain associated with TMJ disorders. Administered by our trained professionals, the injections target specific areas of tension and are minimally invasive. The effects last for several months, and additional treatments may be needed for maintenance. Consult with our TMJ specialists Dr. Jessica Chau to determine your suitability and develop a personalized treatment plan.

WHO NEEDS BOTOX?

BOTOX has many uses and most commonly known for its use for anti-aging benefits. The effect of BOTOX directly reduces wrinkles and facial lines that are evident with aging. However, this is not the only benefit that BOTOX provides. BOTOX is known for its high efficacy at reducing pain and muscle tension caused by TMD (TemporoMandibular joint Disorder). Whether you are clenching throughout the day or have bruxism that happens overnight which can cause wear and damage to your teeth, BOTOX is beneficial in both cases.

HOW MUCH BOTOX DO WE NEED?

There are multiple chewing muscles that participates in causing TMJ disorders and depending on which muscle is most activated or causes pain, the location and the amount of BOTOX that needs to be injected will be different. On average, patients generally benefit from 50 to 100 units every several months.
