BOTOX® Treatment for TMJ

Do you wake up with headaches?

Clench and grind your teeth?

Experience clicking or locking of your jaw?

BOTOX® treatments in the jaw, temple, or forehead (depending on your case) will relax those over-worked muscles to gently reduce pain related to TMJ.

Many patients report improved sleep and reduced insomnia symptoms as well. Imagine sleeping more deeply, without grinding your teeth, and waking up feeling refreshed and pain-free.

How Does BOTOX® Treat TMJ?

Millions of Americans suffer from TMJ pain (temporomandibular joint disorder), which may be traced to the muscles of your jaw.

BOTOX® is a neurotoxin that works to block nerve signals within the muscle, reducing the unconscious clenching and grinding that are often present with TMJ.

Often used as a complement to additional treatments such as nightguards, physical therapy, or even stress reduction techniques, BOTOX® can help eliminate the discomfort of TMJ.

It can happen. We can help.

Many dentists may administer BOTOX® in their offices. At Di Valore, our TMJ treatment plans not only address the medical concerns, but the aesthetic aspects as well.
