Botox for TMJ
At Melior Clinics, we specialise in providing effective, minimally invasive treatments for TMJ disorder.
TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disorder is a condition that affects the joint connecting your jawbone to your skull, often leading to discomfort, tension and a reduced quality of life. Common symptoms include jaw pain, headaches, teeth grinding and difficulty with jaw movement. These issues can disrupt daily activities, making even simple tasks like eating or speaking uncomfortable.
At Melior Clinics, we specialise in providing effective, minimally invasive treatments for TMJ disorder. Using targeted botox injections, we can relax the overactive muscles contributing to your discomfort, helping to ease pain, reduce tension and improve jaw function. In addition to therapeutic relief, the treatment can enhance facial contours, creating a slimmer and more balanced appearance.

Botox for TMJ – your questions answered
What is the science behind botox?
Derived from the bacterium Clostridium botulinum, botox is a neurotoxin which blocks nerve signals sent to your muscles.
When we use botox to treat TMJ disorder, we specifically target the masseter muscles, which control the opening and closing of your mouth.
The botox injections cause the masseter muscle to relax slightly, reducing its activity and, over time, allow it to shrink back to its normal size, relieving the symptoms of TMD.
While the results are not permanent, they can provide relief from TMJ disorder for up to six months.
