TMJ (also known as Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction) disorders cause jaw pain, headaches, jaw clicking, or limited movement. The causes for TMJ range from muscle tension and bruxism (teeth grinding) to structural joint issues.

The best aesthetic treatment for TMJ is Botox. Botox is injected into the jaw muscles, generally the masseter muscles, to temporarily reduce their contraction strength. This will reduce jaw tension, muscle soreness, teeth grinding, and can give relief from tension-related headaches. This is a temporary treatment and Botox should be done consistently to continue to see the improvements.
