Service Overview
Relax the muscles behind the strain.
Therapeutic Botox may be used for clenching, grinding, migraine related concerns, and TMJ concerns when jaw muscle activity is part of the problem.
When jaw muscles are overactive, they can contribute to soreness, headaches, worn teeth, cracked restorations, and a tired bite. Botox may be one part of a larger plan that can include nightguards, bite review, and restorative care.
How it fits care
It may be paired with a nightguard, bite analysis, or repair of damaged teeth.
Why evaluation matters
Jaw pain can have several causes, so diagnosis comes before treatment.

Possibly. Many patients still benefit from a nightguard to protect teeth from wear and cracking.
03 How do I know if jaw tension is muscle related?
