Introduction:
TMJ disorder (TMD) is a painful and frustrating condition that affects millions of people worldwide. Whether caused by stress, teeth grinding, or misalignment, TMJ can lead to chronic pain, jaw tension, and migraines.
If you’ve tried mouthguards, physical therapy, or medications without success, it might be time to consider Botox for TMJ—a safe, FDA-approved treatment that provides long-lasting relief from jaw pain and discomfort.
At Dr. Gobran Aesthetics in Worcester, MA, we specialize in Botox for TMJ, offering personalized treatments to help you feel your best.
How Does Botox Work for TMJ?
Botox temporarily relaxes the overactive muscles in the jaw (masseter and temporalis muscles), preventing clenching, grinding, and tension buildup. This leads to:
✔ Pain relief & reduced muscle tension
✔ Less stress on the temporomandibular joint
✔ Decreased teeth grinding & jaw clenching
✔ Fewer headaches & migraines
✔ Improved jaw mobility & function
Is Botox Safe for TMJ?
Yes! Botox is FDA-approved for medical treatments and has been used for TMJ disorder for years. It is minimally invasive, non-surgical, and requires no downtime.
Who is a Good Candidate for Botox for TMJ?
✔ People suffering from chronic jaw pain, muscle tension, or teeth grinding
✔ Patients with migraines or headaches linked to TMJ
✔ Those who prefer a non-surgical approach to treatment
✔ Individuals who have not found relief with traditional TMJ therapies
