What Is TMJ Disorder?

TMJ disorder TMJ disorder affects the joints and muscles that control jaw movement. It can be caused by stress, teeth grinding (bruxism), arthritis, or jaw injury. Common TMJ symptoms include:

  • Jaw pain or tenderness
  • Clicking or popping when opening the mouth
  • Headaches or migraines
  • Earaches or ringing in the ears
  • Facial pain
  • Difficulty chewing or speaking

 

Without proper treatment, TMJ disorder can significantly impact your quality of life.

 

How Botox Helps with TMJ

While Botox is widely known for reducing facial wrinkles, it is also FDA-approved for various medical conditions, including chronic migraines and jaw tension. When used for TMJ treatment:

  • Botox relaxes overactive jaw muscles, preventing grinding and clenching.
  • It reduces inflammation and discomfort in the jaw area.
  • Many patients experience relief within days and report fewer headaches and facial pain.

 

This approach is non-surgical, quick, and requires no downtime.
