What is TMJ Disorder?
The temporomandibular joints (TMJ) connect your lower jaw to your skull, allowing movements like chewing, talking, and yawning. When these joints or surrounding muscles become strained, inflamed, or misaligned, it results in TMJ Disorder. Symptoms can include:
- Jaw pain or tenderness
- Headaches and migraines
- Ear pain or ringing
- Clicking or popping sounds in the jaw
- Difficulty chewing or locking of the jaw
How Does Botox Help TMJ?
Botox is widely known for its cosmetic benefits, but it also has powerful therapeutic effects. When injected into specific jaw muscles, Botox temporarily relaxes the muscles responsible for clenching and grinding. This muscle relaxation reduces pain, improves jaw movement, and alleviates headaches associated with TMJ.
