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.

frequently asked questions

What are Botox and Xeomin treatments, and how do they work?

Botox and Xeomin are cosmetic treatments that reduce wrinkles and fine lines by temporarily relaxing facial muscles. They target dynamic wrinkles caused by facial expressions, such as crow’s feet, frown lines, and forehead creases. At BOCO Dental and Prosthodontics, we use these treatments to help you achieve a smoother, more youthful appearance with minimal discomfort and no downtime.

What are the benefits of Botox and Xeomin for facial rejuvenation?

Botox and Xeomin treatments offer quick and effective solutions for wrinkle reduction, giving you a refreshed look. These non-invasive treatments work to smooth away signs of aging, enhance facial symmetry, and prevent new wrinkles from forming. They’re an ideal option for those seeking subtle, natural-looking results without surgery.

Am I a good candidate for Botox or Xeomin treatments?

Botox and Xeomin are suitable for adults looking to address signs of aging like wrinkles and fine lines. If you want a non-surgical anti-aging solution to rejuvenate your appearance, these treatments may be right for you. During your consultation at BOCO Dental and Prosthodontics, we’ll review your goals and determine the best plan to meet your needs.
