30 units of Botox for TMJ (15 each side-one injection per side) and I see no improvement after 5 days. Do I need more? (photos)

Five days ago, I received one Botox injection of 15 units on each of my face for TMJ and don't see any improvement in my teeth grinding. The only noticeable change is a slight reduction in fullness of the masseter, but even then it's hard to tell. Should I go back in for more units?
