Jaw clenching, teeth grinding, and TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disorders can cause pain, headaches, and even damage to teeth. Neurotoxin injections are an effective way to relax overactive jaw muscles, easing tension and reducing discomfort.
At Wallenpaupack Medical, TMJ management is led by Kelly Gorman, board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner. With her medical and aesthetic expertise, Kelly delivers safe and precise treatments to relieve jaw pain.
How Do Neurotoxins Help with TMJ?
When injected into the masseter muscles (jaw muscles), neurotoxins reduce excessive clenching and grinding. This provides relief from:
- Jaw pain and tension
- Headaches from grinding
- Tooth wear and damage
- Facial asymmetry from overactive jaw muscles
What to Expect During Treatment
Treatment involves a series of small injections into the jaw muscles. Most patients notice improvement within 1–2 weeks, with results lasting 3–4 months. Treatments can be repeated for ongoing relief.
