What Is TMD and How Can Botox® Help
Temporomandibular disorder affects the jaw joints and the muscles responsible for chewing, speaking, and facial movement. When these muscles become overworked or imbalanced, patients may experience chronic pain and limited jaw mobility.
Common symptoms of TMD include:
- Jaw pain, tightness, or soreness
- Frequent headaches or migraines
- Clicking, popping, or locking of the jaw
- Teeth grinding or clenching
- Limited range of jaw movement
How Botox® Treats TMD:
Botox® is gently injected into overactive jaw muscles to:
- Relax muscle tension
- Reduce grinding and clenching
- Minimize stress on the jaw joints
- Relieve pain in the jaw, face, temples, and neck
This non-surgical TMD therapy in Austin and Round Rock targets only the affected muscles, offering relief with minimal discomfort and little to no downtime.
