TMJ Treatment, Mouthguards & Therapeutic Botox
What Is TMJ Disorder?
Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders affect the jaw joint and surrounding chewing muscles. These conditions can cause:
• jaw pain or facial soreness
• clicking, popping, or grinding sounds in the jaw
• difficulty opening or closing the mouth
• headaches or facial tension
• worn, fractured, or sensitive teeth
Chronic grinding and clenching (bruxism) can also lead to progressive dental damage, including:
• tooth wear and shortening
• abnormal tooth shape
• gum recession
• tooth sensitivity
• fractures or structural damage to teeth
Early diagnosis and treatment are important to prevent long-term joint and dental complications.
Custom TMJ Splints & Mouthguards
Custom oral appliances are designed to reduce strain on the jaw joint and protect the teeth.
These devices may help:
• relieve jaw muscle tension and pain
• reduce grinding and clenching
• improve jaw function and alignment
• protect teeth from further wear or fracture
Botox / Daxxify for TMJ Management
In selected cases, injectable treatment may be used to help manage TMJ-related muscle pain and clenching.
We utilize Daxxify and botulinum-based therapy to relax overactive jaw muscles. When these muscles are less tense, patients often experience:
• reduced jaw pain
• decreased clenching and grinding
• fewer tension headaches
• improved muscle comfort and function
Daxxify may provide a longer duration of effect compared to traditional botulinum treatments in some patients.
The goal of treatment is not to change facial appearance, but to improve comfort, reduce muscle overactivity, and support normal jaw function.
Requirements / Pre-Operative Needs
Before treatment, patients should provide:
• a complete dental and medical history
• history of jaw pain, trauma, arthritis, or prior treatment
• current medications and relevant health conditions
Successful outcomes depend on:
• consistent use of prescribed appliances
• adherence to self-care recommendations
• regular follow-up appointments
Follow-up visits are important to monitor jaw function, appliance fit, and symptom improvement over time.
