Recommended Botox Injector for TMJ?

I use it for a few of my patients who have very strong jaw muscles. It works well.
However, what has really helped my patients is the injection of Kenalog (a mild steroid) directly into the jaw joint (TMJ).
If you are hurting in the joint get kenalog and ask your doctor to give you a muscle relaxant like Soma250mg for every night.
I typically inject 5mg of kenalog in each TMJ.
Here are some of the instructions that I give to my TMJ patients.

You should look for an Otolaryngologist who does TMJ injections.

TMJ pain is difficult to diagnose and treat. There are multiple causes and muscle spasm or imbalance is only one cause. Most individuals suffer from loose ligaments or a disc which can get pinched and cause pain with locking or clicking. Relaxing the muscle will not necessarily correct the problem in these individuals.
Seek an expert in TMJ pain. Ask your dentist for a referral as they are the most common individuals to see this condition. As mentioned below, Maxillo-facial surgeons are the specialists who treat this problem and can recieve training in oral surgery, otolaryngology, or plastic surgery.

Botox is a useful treatment for TMJ.  However, no everyone knows about it, as you have found out.  The best advice is to call around to ENT surgeons offices and possibly platic surgeons office to see if they offer the service.  Good luck.
