Relief from jaw pain and teeth grinding with TMJ injections
Botox for TMJ
We offer specialist Botox injections to ease TMJ discomfort, reduce jaw clenching, and help protect your teeth from bruxism.
Why choose Brookvale & Merrifield for bruxism treatment?
Masseter botox can significantly ease jaw pain, reduce teeth grinding, and restore everyday comfort. Our experienced clinicians provide personalised care in a calm, unhurried environment where your concerns are fully heard. We'll never recommend treatment without a thorough consultation, and you're welcome to visit us more than once before making any decisions about your care.
What is masseter botox?
TMJ disorder (sometimes called TMD) affects the temporomandibular joint and surrounding muscles, causing pain, stiffness, clicking, and difficulty chewing.
Many patients also experience teeth grinding (bruxism) or jaw clenching, which worsens symptoms and damages teeth over time.
Botox for TMJ works by relaxing the overactive masseter muscles, relieving tension, reducing grinding, and protecting your teeth from further wear. TMJ Botox injections are primarily administered into the masseter muscles (cheeks) and temporalis muscles (temples) to relax muscles responsible for clenching and grinding.
