Therapeutic Botox Injections

You may only associate Botox injections with beauty treatments to reduce wrinkles. In reality, Botox treated medical conditions long before being implemented to fight the signs of aging. Today, Dr. Marzvaan uses Botox Therapeutic as a therapy for temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder and involuntary teeth clenching or nighttime teeth grinding (bruxism). Botox injections in the jaw muscles can eliminate the need for TMJ splints or nightguards to prevent the jaw from clenching.

Injections of Botox Therapeutic will relax the muscles that control your jaw, relieving painful TMJ symptoms and preventing the stress that teeth clenching and grinding cause on your mouth. The effects last about four months, so you’ll need to revisit Dr. Marzvaan to maintain the benefits of muscle relaxation in your jaw. With continued therapy the targeted muscles may atrophy and reduce the number of treatments you need.

If you suffer from jaw-clenching, teeth grinding, or the headaches that accompany TMJ disorder, call our office today to find out more about how Botox can help you manage your condition. A consultation with Dr. Marzvaan at our Orange County area practice will determine whether Botox Therapeutic is right for you.
