How BOTOX® Helps with TMJ

Benefits of BOTOX® for TMJ

BOTOX® is not just cosmetic — it's a powerful medical tool. When injected into the overactive jaw muscles (typically the masseter and temporalis), BOTOX® relaxes them just enough to relieve pain and prevent further inflammation.
  • Reduces jaw tension and teeth grinding
  • Helps correct facial asymmetry caused by muscle overgrowth
  • No downtime — return to your day right after treatment
  • Results typically last 3–4 months

In some cases, BOTOX® may be combined with other treatments (e.g., oral appliances or physical therapy) for a more comprehensive solution.
