Are you desperate for TMJ pain relief? BOTOX injections may be just the solution you need.

BOTOX® for TMJ Pain

Do you live with chronic neck or jaw pain related to TMJ? Did you know that BOTOX can relieve this pain or that a dentist is the perfect choice for delivering this treatment?

At Smilehaus Newmarket, we use BOTOX for TMJ pain relief as well as aesthetic purposes. BOTOX is a purified protein that temporarily relaxes muscle activity that causes chronic jaw pain when injected into target areas.

What Is TMJ Disorder?

TMJ disorder (TMD) affects the temporomandibular joints that connect the lower jaw to the skull, allowing you to open and close your mouth. When the TMJs become damaged or overworked, it causes pain and dysfunction. TMJ disorder often results from teeth grinding, jaw clenching, stress, bite misalignment, or injury to the jaw joint.

Benefits of TMJ Pain Treatment

We see many patients seeking TMJ pain relief in Newmarket and understand how limiting it can be. Treatment using BOTOX or any combination of therapies can be life-changing in many ways:

Relieves Chronic Pain

Persistent jaw pain, facial soreness, and tension headaches caused by TMJ affect your ability to work, sleep, and enjoy daily activities. TMJ treatment eliminates the source of this discomfort so you can function normally without constant pain or the need for pain medication.

Improves Sleep Quality

Nighttime jaw clenching and teeth grinding disrupt sleep, leaving you tired and irritable even after a full night's rest. Without the muscle tension and pain keeping you awake, TMJ treatment can lead to more restful sleep and improved overall health and energy levels.

Minimizes Tooth Wear

Chronic clenching and grinding cause excessive tooth wear, cracks, chips, and the need for costly dental work. TMJ treatment relaxes overactive jaw muscles and reduces grinding forces, protecting your teeth from damage and preserving your natural smile

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does BOTOX ®last?

BOTOX results typically last 3–4 months, whether you're receiving treatment for TMJ pain relief or facial aesthetics. However, duration varies based on your metabolism, the areas treated, dosage used, and whether this is your first treatment or a repeat visit.

BOTOX for TMJ Pain Relief

When treating TMJ disorder in Newmarket, BOTOX relaxes overactive jaw muscles responsible for clenching and grinding. Most patients notice relief from jaw pain, tension headaches, and facial soreness within 3–7 days, with full effects apparent within two weeks. This relief typically lasts 3–4 months before muscle activity gradually returns.

Many TMJ patients find that with repeated treatments, they can extend the time between appointments as muscles become trained to relax.

BOTOX for Facial Aesthetics

For lines like crow's feet, frown lines, and forehead wrinkles, you can expect to see smoothing effects within 3–7 days, with optimal results at two weeks. Treated muscles gradually regain activity over 3–4 months, and lines slowly reappear.

With regular treatments, results often last longer because repeated muscle relaxation prevents lines from deepening. Some patients extend their intervals to 4–6 months after several sessions.

Maintaining BOTOX Results

To maintain consistent results, whether for TMJ relief or aesthetics, most patients schedule follow-up appointments every 3–4 months. We'll work with you to find the optimal schedule based on the duration of your individual results.

How BOTOX Relieves TMJ Pain

BOTOX therapy relieves TMJ pain by relaxing overactive jaw muscles. When injected into the masseter muscles (the large muscles that control jaw movement), it reduces excessive activity that causes pain and tension.

Don’t worry; the relaxing effect won't prevent your jaw from functioning naturally. You can still chew, talk, and yawn; it simply reduces the overactivity causing chronic pain and tension.

Our TMJ Treatment Approach

At Smilehaus Newmarket, we use digital imaging and evaluate your bite, jaw movement, and muscle tension to diagnose TMJ issues. With this information, we can determine if BOTOX will be effective for your specific needs and create a tailored treatment plan to provide relief.

BOTOX is most effective when we combine it with other TMJ therapies, including:

Custom nightguards
Bite adjustments
Physical therapy exercises
Stress management techniques
