Masseter Botox can provide significant relief from TMJ disorders and jaw pain by reducing the muscle tension and hyperactivity that contribute to these conditions. When your masseter muscles are constantly clenched or overactive, they create a cascade of problems including jaw joint strain, headaches, and facial pain.
By relaxing these muscles, Botox interrupts the cycle of tension and pain. Many of our Montvale clients report dramatic improvement in their morning jaw stiffness, fewer tension headaches, and reduced pain when chewing or speaking. The treatment is particularly effective for people who grind their teeth at night or clench their jaw during stressful situations.
While masseter Botox can be highly effective for TMJ-related symptoms, it’s often most successful as part of a comprehensive approach that might include a night guard, stress management, or other therapies. During your consultation, we’ll discuss how masseter Botox fits into your overall treatment plan and whether additional interventions might enhance your results.
