I'm interested in this treatment for TMJ but in my research it seems to be referred to differently depending on the desired outcome. Is there actually a difference in treatments?

Answer: What is the difference between Botox for TMJ vs. for jaw slimming Thank you for sharing your question. The treatments are largely the same for patients but injections other than the masseter muscle alone may be done for TMJ. Hope this helps.

Answer: Botox for TMJ vs Slimming Botox for TMJ and jaw slimming both include injections into the masseter muscle. Because of this, the masseter muscle weakens, typically resulting in some jaw slimming. The dose of the treatment will vary depending on how strong the masseter muscle is and if the injections are performed with the purpose of alleviating clenching causing TMJ or simply for jaw slimming. Treatment of TMJ with Botox also may include injections into other muscles of the face related to the joint such as the temporalis. I hope this helps!
