How well does Botox For TMJ work? (photos)

Botox to the masseter gives a temporary relief by relaxing the clenching muscles that cause TMJ pain and cosmetically can shape the jawline. If this doesn't help the TMJ pain, a maxillofacial surgeon would be best for internal muscle treatment.  Best, Dr. Emer

Thank you for your message! Botox can be placed into the masseter muscle to help tame the symptoms of TMJ. By injecting the masseter, it can also help to slim the face though will likely not effect the jawline or double chin. I would recommend a consultation with a provider in your area for further assessment!
