Scottsdale, Arizona Jun 20, 2025 (Issuewire.com) - Dental Studio 101, a Scottsdale-based dental practice, offers Botox® as a treatment option for temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, providing patients with a non-surgical method for addressing muscle tension, jaw pain, and bruxism. The procedure is available to individuals seeking relief from TMJ-related symptoms that have not responded to conventional interventions.
Overview of the Treatment
Temporomandibular joint disorders affect the muscles and joints that connect the jawbone to the skull, often leading to symptoms such as jaw stiffness, headaches, limited range of motion, and chronic teeth grinding. In certain cases, injecting small, controlled amounts of Botulinum toxin (Botox) into the masseter and surrounding muscles can help reduce overactivity and provide symptom relief.
"As someone who has dealt with TMJ discomfort firsthand, I’ve witnessed how Botox can significantly reduce jaw tension and pain," said Dr. Megan Peterson Boyle, a dentist at Dental Studio 101. "It’s empowering to offer patients faster relief without invasive procedures."
Clinical Context and Application
The use of Botox for TMJ management is supported by several studies suggesting it may reduce myofascial pain and muscle hyperactivity in select patient populations. Injections are administered in a clinical setting and typically take under 30 minutes to complete. Patients often report improvements in muscle tension and pain within several days. Effects generally last three to six months before additional treatment is needed.
While not a cure for TMJ disorders, Botox may serve as a useful management option for individuals experiencing chronic symptoms unresponsive to other treatments, such as oral appliances, physical therapy, or medication. The approach may be used as a standalone therapy or integrated into broader TMJ management strategies.
