Botox / Daxxify
What is Daxxify?
Daxxify is an injectable treatment that works by temporarily relaxing targeted muscles.
In an oral and maxillofacial context, it may be considered when overactive jaw muscles contribute to clenching, grinding, facial tension, or TMJ-related muscle discomfort.
The goal of treatment is not necessarily to change facial appearance, but to help reduce excessive muscle activity and support improved comfort when clinically appropriate.
Daxxify is also known for its longer-lasting formulation compared with some traditional botulinum treatments, although results and duration can vary from patient to patient.
How Daxxify May Help Jaw Muscle Tension
In some cases, overactive jaw muscles may contribute to symptoms such as clenching, grinding, facial tension, or TMJ-related muscle discomfort.
Daxxify may be considered to help temporarily relax targeted muscles and reduce excessive muscle activity.
This may help support:
• reduced jaw muscle tension
• improved muscle comfort
• decreased clenching or grinding activity
• relief from tension-related facial discomfort
• improved comfort during daily jaw function
Results can vary depending on the patient, the muscles being treated, and the underlying cause of symptoms.
Daxxify in TMJ & Bruxism Management
Daxxify may be considered as part of a broader approach to managing TMJ-related muscle tension or bruxism.
It may be used when excessive muscle activity is contributing to:
• jaw soreness
• facial tension
• muscle fatigue
• clenching or grinding
• tension-type headaches
• discomfort in the jaw, temples, or surrounding facial muscles
Evaluation & Considerations
Before Daxxify is considered, Dr.Ortiz may evaluate factors such as:
• jaw muscle activity
• symptoms and duration
• history of clenching or grinding
• TMJ-related discomfort
• medical history
• current medications
• previous response to other treatments
Daxxify may not be appropriate for every patient. Treatment decisions depend on clinical judgment and the patient’s individual needs.

Before receiving Daxxify, patients may be asked to provide:
• a complete medical and dental history
• current medications and supplements
• known allergies
• history of neuromuscular conditions, if any
• previous experience with injectable treatments
• pregnancy or nursing status, when applicable
Patients should follow the guidance provided by the clinical team before and after treatment.
