BOTOX® & Other Neurotoxin Injections for TMJ Relief

If you’ve been suffering from TMJ pain, jaw stiffness, or frequent headaches, you know how frustrating and exhausting it can be. Many patients try oral appliances, exercises, dietary changes, and physical therapy with some success, but for those with persistent symptoms, Botox or other neurotoxin injections may provide significant relief.

How BOTOX® or Other Neurotoxin Injections Help TMJ Symptoms

TMJ disorders can cause:

  • Jaw locking, cracking, or popping
  • Painful muscle spasms that limit jaw movement
  • Facial pain and jaw stiffness
  • Frequent headaches or migraines

For patients who don’t respond to first-line treatments, Dr. Mosavian provides BOTOX® or other neurotoxin injections to relax overactive jaw muscles, reducing pain, tension, and inflammation. Many patients experience remarkable relief after treatment.

BOTOX® or Other Neurotoxins for Jaw Slimming

Chronic teeth grinding (bruxism) can enlarge the masseter muscles, causing a bulky, square-shaped jawline. Over time, this can change your facial structure and lead to additional jaw pain.

Dr. Mosavian offers BOTOX® or other neurotoxin injections to:

  • Relax the masseter muscles, reducing their size over time
  • Alleviate jaw tension and discomfort
  • Improve the jawline’s natural contour

Some patients also seek BOTOX® or neurotoxin treatments for jaw slimming purely for cosmetic reasons, even if they do not have TMJ issues. Each case is evaluated individually to determine the best approach.

Choosing the Right Provider for Botox or Neurotoxin Injections

While BOTOX® or other neurotoxin injections can be highly effective for TMJ pain and bruxism, it’s important to see a trained provider. Improperly administered injections can weaken jaw muscles too much, leading to difficulty chewing, increased joint noises, or unwanted changes in facial structure.

At Point Richmond Dental Studio, Dr. Mosavian is highly trained in TMJ treatment and offers safe, effective BOTOX® or neurotoxin therapy to help relieve pain and improve jaw function.
