Temporomandibular joint disorders, often called TMJ disorders, can make eating, sleeping, and enjoying life difficult.

What to Expect
The Botox for TMJ Process
Personal Consultation
Your provider starts by reviewing your symptoms, when they occur, and how they affect your routine. Because jaw pain can have different causes, we assess your jaw muscles and consider other potential sources of discomfort before determining whether Botox suits you.
Treatment Process
We identify the role your masseter muscles play in your jaw tension, then carefully inject Botox at key points to help relax these muscles. This appointment typically takes about 20 minutes, and you can return to most normal activities afterward.
Relief and Maintenance
Botox gradually takes effect over 1 to 2 weeks, so you can expect jaw tension to ease as the treated muscles relax. From there, we track how your symptoms respond and how long your relief lasts to recommend a personalized maintenance plan.
