Botox for TMJ in Oakville
Botox For TMJ From Calma Dental
Botox is another one of the options that you have for temporomandibular disorders (TMD). We’ve included it as another option you have with us because there’s growing evidence that it can help alleviate muscle-related symptoms like jaw tension and pain.
This product is often injected directly into certain muscles to relax them, decreasing contractions and alleviating pain and discomfort.
People always ask us what they can expect after undergoing either of our treatments. We are happy to tell them there are some typical results after TMJ therapy that include
Pain relief in your jaw and the areas surrounding it. The treatments we’ve described are excellent ways to correct alignment issues, reduce pressure on the TMJ itself, and even relax jaw muscles.
Patients can even regain normal jaw function after therapy. Opening and closing their mouths again without pain allows them to eat, speak, and communicate.
There’s also a reduction in the kind of ear pain, neck pain, and headaches that come with TMJ disorders. Some therapies will provide you with immediate relief. However, the goal of these therapies is often the long-term management of your symptoms.
