TMJ/ Masseter upto 40 units Botox/ 120 Units Dysport
Botox injections for TMJ pain and jaw clenching, particularly targeting the masseter muscles, can offer significant relief for individuals suffering from TMJ disorders. Here’s how it can help:
Muscle Relaxation: Botox works by temporarily paralyzing or relaxing the muscles into which it’s injected. In the case of TMJ disorders, injections into the masseter muscles can reduce their hyperactivity and alleviate jaw clenching and grinding, which are common contributors to TMJ pain.
Pain Relief: Excessive muscle tension in the jaw can lead to TMJ pain, headaches, and facial discomfort. By relaxing the masseter muscles, Botox injections can help alleviate these symptoms and improve overall quality of life for individuals with TMJ disorders.
Prevention of Teeth Grinding: Botox injections can also help prevent teeth grinding (bruxism), which often exacerbates TMJ symptoms. By reducing the intensity of jaw clenching and grinding, Botox can protect the teeth from damage and alleviate associated pain.
Non-Invasive Treatment: Botox injections for TMJ pain and jaw clenching offer a minimally invasive alternative to more invasive treatments such as surgery or oral appliances. The procedure is typically quick and performed in-office, with minimal discomfort and downtime.
