Botox®

Botox is an injectable that works to help diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It is produced in controlled laboratory conditions and given in extremely small therapeutic doses. In addition to fine lines and wrinkles, it can treat:

• Chronic Migraines
• Eyelid spasms
• Hyperhydrosis or Hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating)

If you find that the early signs of aging are becoming apparent or if your facial expressions are causing premature wrinkles to appear, then Botox may be for you. Botox is also used in the prevention of wrinkles as well, by prohibiting you from making the facial gestures that cause wrinkles.

However, Botox can also be used to treat medical conditions such as teeth grinding and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders.

Teeth grinding, also known as bruxism, is a condition in which a person clenches or grinds their teeth during sleep or while awake. This can lead to jaw pain, headaches, and dental problems. TMJ disorders, on the other hand, refer to a range of conditions that affect the temporomandibular joint, which connects the jawbone to the skull. Symptoms of TMJ disorders can include pain, stiffness, and clicking or popping sounds in the jaw.

Botox can help with teeth grinding and TMJ disorders by relaxing the muscles that are responsible for these conditions. When injected into the muscles around the jaw, Botox can temporarily paralyze them, which can reduce the severity of teeth grinding and relieve the symptoms of TMJ disorders.

Botox can help with:

• Relief from Teeth Grinding and TMJ Pain
• Reduced Muscle Tension for a Relaxing Jaw
• Enhanced Sleep and Quality of Life
• Experiencing Pain-Free Dental Treatment
