Botox is an FDA-approved injectable that temporarily relaxes muscles. In aesthetics, it reduces wrinkles caused by facial expressions, such as frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead creases. In medical applications, Botox is used to relieve jaw pain, headaches, and teeth grinding by relaxing the overworked jaw muscles. The result is a more relaxed appearance and improved comfort in daily life.
The procedure is straightforward. After a consultation, the provider maps out the treatment areas and delivers small, precise injections using a fine needle. For aesthetics, Botox is placed in facial muscles where lines appear most often. For TMJ, injections are targeted at the jaw muscles to reduce clenching. The process typically takes 15–30 minutes. There may be slight redness or tenderness at the injection sites, but most patients return to normal activities right away.
Botox is best known for its ability to smooth dynamic wrinkles, including forehead lines, frown lines, and crow’s feet. It is also highly effective in reducing the symptoms of TMJ disorder, such as jaw pain, tension headaches, teeth grinding, and facial discomfort. Patients often find it helps them look refreshed while also improving their quality of life.
Botox has become one of the most popular aesthetic treatments for good reason. It smooths fine lines and wrinkles caused by repetitive facial movements, giving patients a softer, more youthful look. Results are subtle and natural, helping you look refreshed without looking “frozen.” Many patients enjoy the boost in confidence that comes with a more relaxed and approachable appearance.
Beyond its cosmetic uses, Botox can provide real medical relief. For patients with TMJ disorder, it relaxes overactive jaw muscles, reducing clenching, grinding, and the discomfort that comes with them. Many also notice fewer headaches and less facial tension. These wellness benefits can improve daily comfort, protect dental health, and enhance overall quality of life.
Most healthy adults seeking wrinkle reduction or relief from TMJ symptoms can benefit from Botox. It is not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women, or those with certain neuromuscular conditions. During your consultation at The Dental Team, we’ll review your medical history to ensure Botox is safe and appropriate for you.
Recovery from Botox is simple. Patients may experience minor redness or swelling at injection sites, which typically fades within hours. You can return to work or social activities the same day. For the best results, patients should avoid strenuous exercise, lying flat, or rubbing the treatment area for several hours after injections.
For wrinkle reduction, most patients see results within 3–7 days, with the full effect visible at about two weeks. For TMJ treatment, relief often begins within a few days as the jaw muscles relax. Results last several months, and maintenance appointments help extend the benefits.
Botox typically lasts three to four months for wrinkle reduction. For TMJ, results can last longer depending on muscle activity and individual response.
