Posted under Botox for TMJ q&a

Based on your clinical experience, is Botox effective in relieving TMJ pain and/or tinnitus? There are not many studies.

txmom808
I have developed tinnitus in one ear from my TMJ (clenching). It is not responding to the traditional treatments. (ice, heat, occlusal guard, muscle relaxers) I am just wondering if the doctors who routinely use botox for TMD could give me any specifics on the clinical response from it, how many units I would initially need, and what is the time frame for the onset of relief? What is the maintenance dose? What type of doctor is best qualified to administer this type of treatment? Thank you.
