Some treatments help manage the condition, the most effective one is the <a href=\"https:\/\/chicagoloopdentistry.com\/cosmetic-dentistry\/bruxism-treatment\/\"><strong>tmj botox in chicago<\/strong><\/a> which relaxes muscles.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Botox<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Botox helps alleviate pain and relax tense jaw muscles. It is recommended as a complementary treatment to other TMJ disorder therapy, yet Botox is needed for certain symptoms. However, you have heard the word Botox for cosmetic purposes that help keep you looking younger. On the other hand, have you heard about therapeutic Botox for headaches, facial pain, and TMJ disorders?<\/p>\n<p>Botox for TMJ disorder relieves the common symptoms, such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Headaches<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Teeth clenching<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Botox works on reducing facial muscle activity. It is used for cosmetic purposes to minimize the appearance of:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Aging lines<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Wrinkles<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Frown lines<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Botox is used for therapeutic purposes with the primary function of relaxing facial muscles that help relieve pain from the tight jaws and other facial muscles causing headaches and tension.<\/p>\n<p>How does Botox work with TMJ disorders?<\/p>\n<p>If you have no idea about Botox that can be used for both medical treatment and cosmetic treatment, you are not alone. Before going into how Botox works for TMJ disorders, you must understand what TMJ is. The temporomandibular joint will act as a hinge for the mouth that lets you talk and eat freely. When you have TMJ disorder, you may suffer from the different conditions:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Teeth grinding or clenching<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Sore jaw and cheeks<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Tension headaches<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Should and neck pain and more<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Since Botox relaxes the muscles, patients suffering from the symptoms of TMJ disorder can use the treatment to alleviate pain and relax tense muscles. Botox for TMJ disorder may last up to 3 months.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Can Botox change the face shape for TMJ disorder?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Yes, Botox for TMJ disorder can change the shape of the face positively. When the jaw muscles are overworked and tense, it causes the face to look wider. Botox can help lessen the appearance of the jaw muscles and alleviate pain from clenching. It slims the face and regains youthfulness.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Is Botox covered by insurance?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Botox for cosmetic use is not covered by the insurance, it may only be covered in chronic medical conditions.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Can TMJ disorder be treated?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Grinding and clenching of teeth are two primary causes of TMJ pain. However, it is not an irreversible condition and with proper treatment, it can cure TMJ pain permanently.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TMJ (Temporomandibular Joint) is a\u00a0 joint that attaches the jaw to the skull.
