What Is TMD and How Can Botox Help?

Temporomandibular disorder (TMD) affects the jaw joints and muscles that control everyday actions like chewing, speaking, and facial expressions. It's a common condition that can cause pain, discomfort, and reduced mobility.

‍

Common TMD Symptoms Include:

• Jaw pain or tightness
• Frequent headaches or migraines
• Clicking or popping sounds in the jaw
• Teeth grinding (bruxism)
• Limited jaw movement or locking

‍

How Botox® Treats TMD:

Botox is injected into the overactive jaw muscles to relax them, reduce involuntary movements like clenching or grinding, and relieve chronic tension and pain. It's a proven, non-surgical treatment option for managing TMD symptoms and improving jaw function.
