Botox for TMJ Treatment
Are you struggling with persistent jaw pain, teeth grinding, or headaches caused by TMJ disorder? Nurse Evelyn at Refine Aesthetics offers Botox for TMJ, a non-surgical solution designed to relax overactive jaw muscles, alleviate pain, and improve jaw function.
Whether you’re seeking relief from TMJ-related discomfort or looking to slim your jawline for a more contoured appearance, Botox injections in the masseter muscles provide an effective, safe, and natural-looking treatment option.
What Is Botox for TMJ?
Botox for TMJ is a non-surgical treatment that targets overactive jaw muscles causing TMJ disorders. Injecting Botox into the masseter and sometimes temporalis muscles, relaxes the jaw, alleviating symptoms like jaw pain, teeth grinding, and headaches. This quick, minimally invasive procedure offers effective relief while also helping to contour the jawline for a slimmer appearance.
Understanding TMJ and Its Symptoms
The temporomandibular joint connects the jawbone to the skull, facilitating movements like chewing and speaking. TMJ disorders can arise from various factors, including stress, teeth grinding (bruxism), and misalignment, resulting in:
- Jaw pain or tenderness
- Difficulty chewing
- Locking of the jaw
- Headaches
- Earaches
How Botox Treats TMJ Disorders
Botox for TMJ targets the overactive masseter muscles, responsible for jaw clenching and teeth grinding. The treatment temporarily blocks nerve signals that trigger muscle contractions, allowing the muscles to relax. As a result, tension is reduced, alleviating pain and discomfort associated with TMJ. Over time, the masseter muscles also shrink, slimming the jawline and improving facial contours.
