What is TMJ Teeth Grinding BOTOX®?
BOTOX® for TMJ teeth grinding is a treatment that targets overactive jaw muscles to reduce tension, alleviate symptoms of TMJ disorders, and minimize teeth grinding.
How does TMJ teeth grinding BOTOX® work?
Our treatment works by targeting the masseter and temporalis muscles, which are often overactive in individuals with TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disorders or bruxism (teeth grinding). These muscles are responsible for clenching and grinding, which can lead to jaw tension, pain, and excessive wear on teeth. BOTOX® is injected directly into these muscles, where it stops the release of acetylcholine at the neuromuscular junction.
When will I see results from BOTOX®?
Most clients notice improvements within 7 to 10 days, with full effects becoming apparent around two weeks after treatment.
How long do the effects of TMJ teeth grinding BOTOX® last?
The results typically last between 3 and 6 months, depending on factors like muscle activity and individual metabolism.
Are neuromodulators for TMJ and teeth grinding safe?
Yes, this FDA-approved treatment is safe and effective when performed by an experienced provider. Side effects are minimal, making it a reliable option for most individuals seeking relief.
Can TMJ teeth grinding BOTOX® improve my facial appearance?
Yes, BOTOX® can enhance facial aesthetics by reducing a square or bulky jawline caused by overactive jaw muscles. This not only creates a softer, more balanced appearance but also relieves functional issues like jaw tension and grinding.
