Botox® Is More Than a Cosmetic Treatment
Beyond its well-known cosmetic applications for fine lines and wrinkles, Botox has become invaluable in dentistry. The botulinum toxin in Botox has a rich history of therapeutic uses, including addressing various facial aesthetic concerns in dentistry. Under the expertise of our skilled Prosthodontist, Dr. Joon Park, Botox helps correct issues such as high lip lines, lip augmentation, bruxism, and jaw muscle-related issues affecting denture fit.
One of its standout applications in dentistry is its effectiveness in treating temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders. Botox treatments for TMJ are minimally invasive and safe, ensuring patient comfort throughout the procedure and enhancing satisfaction with their dental outcomes and smiles
What Is Botox?
Botox, derived from botulinum toxins found in natural substances, is renowned for its dual role in muscle relaxation and wrinkle reduction when injected into the skin in small, temporary doses.
Although it offers temporary results, regular Botox treatments can help maintain its benefits over time. Its minimally invasive nature makes it highly effective for dental applications, particularly in treating TMJ disorders associated with teeth grinding, headaches, and jaw pain.

How Botox Relieves TMJ Symptoms
Teeth grinding can lead to costly dental issues. If you suffer from TMJ symptoms like jaw tension, headaches, or a locked jaw, effective treatments are available. Traditional methods such as mouthguards, physical therapy, or surgery are proven solutions.
However, Botox can be a viable solution for TMJ disorders and TMJ-related headaches. Botox helps halt teeth grinding, preventing potential oral damage. By relaxing tense jaw muscles affected by stress, Botox offers relief from pain and discomfort associated with TMJ issues.
