Botox® for TMJ & Teeth Grinding
Relieve jaw pain. Reduce clenching. Protect your teeth.
Botox for TMJ at Art of Smile Dentistry – Yonge and Eglinton is a precise, minimally invasive treatment designed to reduce jaw tension and chronic teeth grinding.
What Is Botox for TMJ?
TMJ (Temporomandibular Joint Disorder) and teeth grinding occur when the jaw muscles contract excessively — often during stress or sleep.
Botox is injected directly into the masseter and related muscles to reduce that overactivity.
This helps:
Rather than masking symptoms with medication, Botox targets the source — excessive muscle force.
Why Choose Botox for TMJ at Yonge and Eglinton?

Many patients clench unconsciously. By reducing muscle intensity, Botox often interrupts the cycle of tension and inflammation.

Relief typically lasts 5–6 months before maintenance is required.
