Treating TMJ Pain in Ashburn, Virginia

Posted .

If you’re suffering from TMJ pain, teeth grinding, jaw tension, or facial headaches, masseter botox may be a possible solution. Botox inserted into the masseter muscle in your jaw can reduce the activity of your facial muscles, essentially freezing their ability to clench, allowing them to relax and improve oral function. The team at Costa Dentistry is experienced in treating TMJ pain with masseter botox at our location in Ashburn, Virginia.

  • Locking and popping of the jaw while opening and closing the mouth

Masseter Botox Before and After at Costa Dentistry

Tensed masseter muscles can make the face and jaw line appear wider. Massetter botox prevents the bulky muscle on your jawline from moving, which can alleviate facial pain, headaches, and tension, and also reduce the size and appearance of the muscles in the facial structure. 

Dr. Jean Kim in our Ashburn office is certified in Botox by the American Academy of Facial Esthetics, specifically in head and neck pain. It’s best to use a certified dental professional so that both the symptoms and root causes of TMJ discomfort can be addressed. In some cases, misalignment of the teeth or jaw may need to be addressed with physical therapy, dental processes, and stress management strategies. 

The masseter botox process is quick and easy, and the pain relief can last for up to 3 months.
