Botox Treatments for TMJ
Your temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is the complex joint on both sides of your head that connects your jaw bone to the rest of your skull. Unconscious habits (such as grinding or clenching your teeth) and overworked chewing muscles can cause joint displacement and muscle tension. Botox injections can provide tension relief and decrease unconscious movement by relaxing these muscles. If you experience lockjaw, chronic jaw pain, chronic headaches, or sensitive teeth, you may benefit from receiving botox treatments for your TMJ.
