What Is TMJ / TMD?

TMJ (Temporomandibular joint) connects your lower jaw to your skull.

TMD (Temporomandibular Disorder) refers to disorders affecting this joint and the surrounding muscles.

When the TMJ is stressed or misaligned, it can cause a wide range of symptoms.

Common TMD Symptoms

Jaw pain or stiffness
Clicking or popping sounds
Headaches or migraines
Facial pain
Earaches or ringing in the ears
Neck and shoulder pain
Difficulty opening or closing the mouth

What Causes TMJ Disorder?

TMJ issues can develop from one or more factors, including:

Teeth grinding or clenching (bruxism)
Bite misalignment or missing teeth
Jaw injury or trauma
Arthritis
Chronic stress

How BOTOX® Helps Relieve TMJ Pain

BOTOX® is an FDA-approved treatment that relaxes overactive jaw muscles by blocking nerve signals that cause excessive clenching and tension.

TMD- BOTOX® treatment can help:

Reduce jaw muscle tension
Relieve chronic headaches and facial pain
Ease neck and shoulder discomfort
Improve jaw movement and comfort
Provide relief with minimal downtime

The procedure is quick, comfortable, and typically takes less than 30 minutes. Most patients notice improvement within days, with full results in about two weeks.

BOTOX® for Teeth Grinding (Bruxism)

Teeth grinding and clenching—also known as bruxism—are common causes of TMJ pain. Over time, grinding can lead to jaw soreness, headaches, worn teeth, and ear pain.

BOTOX® injections help relax the muscles responsible for grinding, reducing:

Jaw tightness
Morning headaches
Facial and ear pain

Results typically last 4–6 months, with repeat treatments helping maintain long-term relief.

Custom-Made Nightguard for TMD Relief

For patients who grind their teeth at night or have jaw misalignment, a custom-made Nightguard may be recommended.

Unlike store-bought guards, our custom night guards are:

Designed specifically for your bite
Comfortable and easy to wear
Effective at reducing pressure on the TMJ
Protective against tooth wear and damage

Nightguards are often used alone or combined with BOTOX® for optimal results.
