Jaw pain and soreness is a constant issue that can affect one’s quality of life. It can make it more
difficult for patients to speak, chew food, and even concentrate during the course of the day. If you’ve
tried to relieve jaw pain without success, Botox may be
right for you.
The masseter and temporalis muscles are responsible for a great deal of jaw movement. These are
overactive during constant clenching of the jaw and grinding of the teeth (technically known as
bruxism).
When these muscles are overactive, they can cause tension to form in the area, including tension in the
temporomandibular joint (TMJ). The TMJ connects the jaw to the sides of the skull. This constant stress
on the TMJ creates jaw pain.
Your Jaw Pain Treatment
Botox has been found to be a very effective way to treat jaw pain. Botox is an
injectable product used to relax the muscles that control facial movement.
Injecting Botox treatment into the masseter and temporalis muscles causes temporary muscle weakness,
helping jaw tension to dissipate. In this way, TMJ disorders are relieved.
Botox also prevents further over-clenching of the muscle and grinding of the teeth, thus avoiding greater
TMJ damage.
Jaw pain is often relieved within a week of treatment, with improvement within the first few days. Repeat
treatments are necessary to continue to prevent future jaw pain.
My Experience with Dr. Jaffer was fantastic! I've highly recommended Heights Laser Centre to
friends and family - I wish I had it done sooner. I learned what BOTOX is and does and never felt
any pressure from staff or the doctor. Thanks!
