TMJ TREATMENT IN BARRIE
TMJ TREATMENT AT REVIVE
Looking for TMJ treatment in Barrie? Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) can affect the jaw joint and surrounding muscles, contributing to symptoms such as jaw pain, muscle tension, clenching, teeth grinding and headaches. Because TMJ-related symptoms can have different causes, the appropriate treatment depends on your individual condition.
At REVIVE Medical Spa in Barrie, Botox® may be considered for selected patients whose TMJ-related symptoms involve overactive jaw muscles, including clenching or grinding. Botulinum toxin temporarily reduces activity in targeted muscles and may help reduce muscle-related pain and tension in appropriate patients.
REVIVE is a physician-led clinic founded by Dr. Marina Beshay. During consultation, your symptoms and medical history are reviewed to determine whether Botox treatment may be appropriate for your particular jaw and TMJ concerns.
TMJ TREATMENT PROCESS
Consultation
Your TMJ consultation begins with a review of your symptoms, medical history and treatment goals. Your provider may assess concerns such as jaw pain, clenching, teeth grinding and muscle tension to determine whether Botox is an appropriate treatment option.
Because TMJ symptoms can have different causes, consultation is an important step in developing an individualized treatment plan.
BOTOX TREATMENT
When appropriate, Botox is injected into selected jaw muscles involved in excessive muscle activity, such as the masseter muscles. The specific muscles treated and amount used depend on your symptoms, anatomy and individualized treatment plan.
Botox works by temporarily reducing activity in targeted muscles, which may help with selected muscle-related TMJ symptoms.
Results
The response to Botox treatment varies from person to person. Changes in muscle activity develop gradually after treatment, and your provider will discuss what you can reasonably expect based on your individual treatment plan.
Because Botox has a temporary effect, follow-up treatment may be considered depending on your response, symptoms and treatment goals.
WHO MAY BE A CANDIDATE FOR TMJ BOTOX?
Botox treatment may be considered for selected patients when muscle activity contributes to their TMJ-related symptoms. A consultation may be appropriate for people experiencing concerns such as:
- Jaw clenching or muscle tension
- Teeth grinding or bruxism
- Discomfort associated with overactive jaw muscles
- Tenderness or tension in the masseter area
- Selected muscle-related TMJ symptoms
- Persistent symptoms that warrant assessment of additional treatment options
Botox is not appropriate for every cause of TMJ pain. Your symptoms and medical history should be assessed before treatment is recommended.
MUSCLES THAT MAY BE TREATED
The muscles treated depend on your symptoms and individual assessment. For selected patients with muscle-related TMJ concerns, treatment may involve jaw muscles associated with clenching, grinding and muscle tension.
Common treatment areas may include:
- Masseter muscles
- Temporalis muscles
- Other jaw muscles when clinically appropriate
TMJ BOTOX COST
