Understanding TMJ discomfort
The temporomandibular joints connect your lower jaw to your skull. Clenching, grinding, and muscle tension can lead to jaw soreness, headaches, facial tension, and clicking or tightness when you open or close your mouth.
Jaw Comfort
Botox for TMJ Pain
A conservative treatment option that may help relax overworked jaw muscles and ease TMJ-related discomfort.
How Botox may help
Small, precise injections into specific jaw muscles can help those muscles relax. For some patients, this may reduce clenching and grinding and ease related tension and discomfort. Results vary from person to person, and treatment is typically repeated over time to maintain its effects.
Is it right for you?
Every patient's jaw pain has its own causes. Dr. Mark will start with a careful evaluation, talk through your symptoms and goals, and explain all of your options, including whether Botox, a night guard, or another approach may be most appropriate.
