How Can Botox Treat TMD Issues?

Botox uses botulinum toxin injections to address a number of issues, including the pain caused by temporomandibular joint disorders (TMD). By freezing the muscles responsible for jaw pain and/or discomfort, patients can experience:

• Pain Control: Botox targets the muscles involved in TMD, making jaw movements and muscle tension less painful.
• Relaxes Muscles: By calming the muscles around the jaw joint, Botox reduces intense muscle contractions and eases symptoms like jaw clenching or grinding.
• Promotes Jaw Function: This treatment decreases excessive muscle activity, improving jaw movement. It can help patients chew, speak, and move their jaws without irritation.
• Supportive Therapy: Alongside other therapies like oral appliances or physical therapy, Botox can help calm the pain caused by TMD.

Who Can Receive This Treatment?

This service can offer relief for patients experiencing:

• Long-term TMD Symptoms: If you struggle with ongoing jaw pain, muscle tension, and restricted jaw movement, Botox may be right for you.
• Muscle Overactivity: Patients whose excessive muscle activity causes them to clench their jaws or grind their teeth may find relief through Botox injections.
• Unsuccessful Previous Treatments: If you haven't seen improvements from traditional TMD therapies, Botox may be an effective option for you. Fastbraces can treat many orthodontic issues, including overcrowded teeth, gaps, and misaligned bites.
