Botox for TMJ & Teeth Grinding

What is Botox® for TMJ & Teeth Grinding?

Botox® for TMJ and teeth grinding is a non-surgical treatment that relaxes overactive jaw muscles to relieve pain, tension, and clenching. By targeting the masseter and temporalis muscles, Botox® helps reduce jaw strain, minimize headaches, prevent excessive tooth wear, and improve overall comfort.

This treatment is quick, minimally invasive, and highly effective for patients struggling with TMJ disorders, chronic clenching, or nighttime grinding—providing long-lasting relief and restoring natural jaw function.
