Botox for TMJ Relief in Rittenhouse Square
This is Heading
A Gentle, Proven Approach to Jaw Pain
Chronic jaw pain, clenching, and facial tension can take a real toll on your day-to-day life. At Philly Smiles, we offer Botox® for TMJ as a non-invasive treatment that provides fast, targeted relief — without oral appliances or surgery.
Our trained doctors use therapeutic doses of Botox to relax overactive jaw muscles, reduce stress on the temporomandibular joint, and help you feel better without compromising function or facial movement.
If you’ve tried night guards or bite therapy and are still dealing with pain, this could be the next step toward relief.
How Does Botox Help TMJ?
Botox, best known for its cosmetic uses, is also widely used in medical and dental practices to treat muscle tension. For TMJ dysfunction, it works by:
- Relaxing the masseter and temporalis muscles
- Reducing forceful clenching and grinding (bruxism)
- Decreasing inflammation and joint pressure
- Minimizing associated headaches and facial pain
The procedure is quick — usually less than 15 minutes — with results that can last 3 to 4 months. Most patients notice reduced tension within a few days and significant improvement by the two-week mark.
Is Therapeutic Botox Right for You?
Botox for TMJ is ideal for patients who:
- Experience chronic jaw tension or clenching
- Suffer from migraines or tension headaches
- Wake up with sore jaw muscles
- Have not found relief with other conservative treatments
- Are looking for a minimally invasive option
At Philly Smiles, your treatment starts with a thorough consultation. We’ll assess your bite, joint movement, and muscle activity — and explain every option clearly so you can make an informed decision.
