Is it possible to get Botox for TMJ pain or tight muscles?

Thanks so much for your question! I'm sorry to hear that you've been suffering with TMJ. Botox can be an effective treatment to help alleviate some of the symptoms that you are experiencing. The masseter muscle is usually responsible for the discomfort associated with TMJ, so by injecting Botox in this area, it helps the muscle relax and results will last for about 3 months. Every physician addresses pricing for Botox differently but it's commonly priced per unit. After a consultation with a board certified facial plastic surgeon or dermatologist, they will be able to determine how many units are needed for your specifically. Best of luck!

Botox can help alleviate some of the symptoms of TMJ pain but it is not a cure.   I suffer from TMJ and have seen an oral surgeon to help protect my teeth by wearing a night guard.  Botox has definitely improved the clenching and bruxism that occurs in the masseter (lower jaw muscle) region and the effects last 3-4 months.  There is also a cosmetic benefit as the face appearance looks slimmer.   The price range depends on the number of units being injected.   That depends on the size of your muscles so it's recommended to find a good provider and do a consultation first.   If the person is not experienced - they can hit the facial nerve and cause an assymetric smile for 3-4 months.

Yes, if an enlarged masseter muscle is contributing to your TMJ pain then Botox can help to improve your symptoms. I have done this a lot in the appropriate candidates with great success. It does take commitment on the part of the patient as multiple sessions may be needed over time. Make sure you see an experienced injector as there are risks of complications when treating this area. Best wishes.
