Botox for TMJ and Jaw Tension Treatment

What is Botox?

Temporomandibular Joint Disorders

Jaw pain / soreness, jaw clicking or popping, headaches such as dull aches to chronic migraines, teeth grinding, jaw clenching

BOTOX® is used as an alternative treatment for TMJ (temporo-mandibular joint) disorders and associated jaw tension and pain. When injected into facial muscles afflicted with soreness and discomfort, BOTOX® relieves TMJ and jaw tension for many patients.

Botox can alleviate joint and muscle pain. At the same time, Botox removes wrinkles and slims down your face. In our office we only use Allergan.

If you are experiencing symptoms of TMJ, our office provides BOTOX treatments to relax the masseter and temporalis muscles, relieving pain and clenching. Schedule an evaluation today 941-505-1200.

How BOTOX Cosmetic Works

A combination of factors can cause facial lines. It’s not just about the cellular changes that may occur, or reduction of collagen, or damage caused by free radicals from the sun and the environment. Repeated muscle contractions from frowning, squinting, or raising eyebrows cause skin to furrow and fold, gradually resulting in the formation of facial lines. BOTOX® Cosmetic works beneath the surface and temporarily reduces the underlying muscle activity that causes moderate to severe frown lines, crow’s feet and forehead lines in adults – to help them look visibly smoother.

Dermal Filler Treatments

Dermal fillers are gel-like substances that are injected beneath the skin to restore lost volume, smooth lines and soften creases, or enhance facial contours. More than 1 million men and women annually have chosen this popular facial rejuvenation treatment, which can be a cost-effective way to look younger without surgery or downtime. While dermal fillers are casually known as “wrinkle fillers,” they can do much more than just smooth out wrinkles, although they are excellent at this too! Here are a few of the common issues dermal fillers can help address:

Smooth out lines around nose and mouth (a.k.a. marionette lines, smile lines, and parentheses)
Enhance & restore volume to sunken cheeks or temples
Diminish vertical lip lines
Plump & enhance the lips
Smooth out a chin crease
Improve symmetry among facial features

In our office we only use Allergan.
