TMJ & JAW PAIN RELIEF
STOP THE CLENCH & START THE RELIEF.
If you wake up with a sore jaw, frequent earaches, or a locked sensation in your face, you aren't just "stressed" - you likely have a treatable condition. Clinical studies show that neuromodulators are highly effective at treating Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) disorders by relaxing the overactive muscles responsible for clenching and grinding.
WHAT IS TMJ?
Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) disorders often stem from Bruxism (chronic teeth grinding) or involuntary jaw clenching. When the Masseter and Temporalis muscles are constantly engaged, they become inflamed and enlarged, leading to chronic facial pain and even a widening of the lower face.
Our targeted injections work by temporarily reducing the "bite force" of these muscles. By blocking the nerve signals that cause involuntary contraction, we allow the jaw joint to rest, inflammation to subside, and your facial muscles to return to a state of ease.
HOW IT WORKS
Our team of board-certified providers will begin by identifying your specific tension points with a thorough exam and palpation of the jaw and temple muscles. Once located, a small needle is inserted directly into the masseter or temporalis muscles, delivering the neurotoxin precisely where you need it most.
This results in relaxed muscle fibers and reduced tension, allowing your jaw to function comfortably without the constant strain of clenching. Most patients experience relief within a week, and results can last for three to six months! Even better? Treating the masseter muscle often results in a subtle slimming of the lower face for a more contoured look.
FAQ
-
The jaw muscles are some of the strongest in the body. Typically, 15 to 30 units per side are required to effectively "quiet" the muscle.
-
No. You will still be able to chew normally, though we recommend avoiding very gummy or tough foods (like steak or taffy) for the first 24 hours.
-
To prevent the return of jaw pain, we recommend maintenance treatments every 4 months.
