What Is TMJ?
TMJ stands for temporomandibular joint. Your temporomandibular joints are placed just in front of your ears on both sides of your face.
The TMJs are the joints that join your lower jawbone to your skull and help you chew and talk.
What Is TMJ Disorder?
When the muscles and ligaments that surround your jaw joints become inflamed or irritated, this results in TMJ dysfunction. The pain could be moderate or severe, depending on whether the disease is acute or chronic.
A patient may have acute tension headaches as well as intense pain in the jaw if this joint gets misplaced or overused due to excessive teeth grinding.
It is important not to leave your TMJ disorder untreated because this can cause inflammation, wear down of your teeth, sleep problems, anxiety and depression too.
How Does Botox Injections Help Teeth Grinding/ Bruxism/ TMJ Pain?
Doctors at Glow & Go inject small doses of Botox treatment (botulinum toxin) directly into the masseter muscle that weakens the muscle well enough to stop repetitive teeth grinding and jaw clenching.
This helps to relax the muscle and relieves bruxism-related pain and reduces dental damage due to clenching teeth at night or during the day. You also see an improved facial profile as well as reduced headaches and jaw pains.
