I saw a TMJ (Temporomandibular Joint) patient get her jaw muscles injected with Botox to help with tightness and pain. When I asked my plastic surgeon about it, he wasn't familiar with its use in that manner. Any suggestions on a specialist who can do these procedures?
Answer: Botox Injector for TMJ
Oral maxillofacial surgeons tend to perform the treatment more frequently than plastic surgeons since they are more likely to treat TMJ patients.
