Innovative Relief

What are the benefits of Botox?

Botox treatments offer a range of benefits beyond their traditional cosmetic applications. For individuals suffering from TMJ disorders, Botox can relax the overactive muscles responsible for jaw pain, teeth grinding, and clenching. This provides relief from discomfort and helps protect teeth from further damage. Additionally, Botox can correct gummy smiles, asymmetrical smiles, and other imperfections, providing a non-invasive and efficient alternative to traditional dental procedures.

During your consultation, Dr. Neil Hadaegh will thoroughly evaluate your oral health and discuss your concerns and goals. If Botox is deemed suitable for your needs, a personalized treatment plan will be created.

The Precision of Botox

Your TMJ Botox Procedure

Administering Botox for TMJ or smile correction is a quick procedure that doesn’t require any downtime afterward. Dr. Hadaegh will use a fine needle to inject the Botox solution into the targeted muscles. The procedure typically takes around 15 to 30 minutes, and you can resume your daily activities right away. Over the following days, you will gradually experience the relaxing effects of Botox as the muscles in the treated area begin to soften.
