Case Dependent

We offer functional Botox for TMJ and jaw pain relief. If you suffer from TMD (temporomandibular disorders), jaw pain, migraines, or headaches, Botox can provide significant relief. It works by relaxing the muscles around the jaw, reducing clenching and grinding. Benefits of functional Botox include reduced jaw pain and tenderness, alleviated headaches and migraines, improved ability to chew and bite, and greater jaw mobility. In select restorative cases, Botox can also help soften a gummy smile as part of a larger treatment plan.
