What is Botox Treatment for TMJ (TMD)?
Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction (TMD), commonly known as TMJ disorder, affects the hinge joint connecting the jawbone to the skull. This condition can lead to jaw pain, stiffness, and inflammation, often caused by factors like teeth grinding, clenching, or aging.
At Oral Facial Surgery Specialists at The Woodlands, we use Botox injections to relax the overactive muscles contributing to TMJ discomfort. This non-invasive treatment relieves tension, enhances mobility, and helps you reclaim your quality of life.
Why Choose Botox for TMJ Treatment?
If you’re living with persistent jaw pain, difficulty opening and closing your mouth, or recurring headaches, Botox treatment offers a safe and proven solution. By targeting and relaxing the affected muscles, Botox provides relief that lasts for months, giving you the freedom to smile, eat, and live without discomfort.
Key benefits of Botox for TMJ treatment:
- Minimally invasive and virtually painless.
- Immediate improvement, with peak results in a few days.
- Long-lasting relief from jaw tension and stiffness.
