Botox for TMJ
Botox for TMJ is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that involves injecting Botulinum toxin into the masseter muscle, which is responsible for chewing and clenching of the jaw. Botox for TMJ is one of the most effective treatments for alleviating TMJ symptoms by relaxing the muscle and reducing its size, which in turn reduces pressure on the joint.
