Consultation and Assessment

We’ll evaluate your jaw function, pain patterns, and muscle tension to determine if Botox is a good fit for your needs.

Treatment

Small injections are placed into the targeted jaw muscles. The procedure takes just a few minutes and causes minimal discomfort. Most patients return to normal activities immediately.

Results

You’ll start to notice relief within a few days as the muscles relax. Results typically last 3–4 months, and repeat treatments can help maintain long-term comfort.
