Am I a Candidate for TMJ Botox?
Determining if Botox™ is the right solution for your jaw starts with a simple self-check. If most of these sound familiar, you could be an ideal candidate for this gentle, FDA-approved therapy.
Candidate Self-Check
- You grind or clench your teeth (especially at night)
- You wake with jaw soreness, headaches, or ear discomfort
- Splints, night guards, or pain medications have given only short-term relief
- You notice clicking, popping, or occasional locking of your jaw
- Pain limits comfortable chewing, yawning, or speaking
- You’re in good overall health (not pregnant or nursing)
- You do not have a neuromuscular disorder (e.g., myasthenia gravis)
- You’re open to follow-up sessions every 3–4 months
How to Interpret Your Results
- 4+ checks: You’re a strong candidate—Botox may deliver the rapid relief you’ve been seeking.
- 2–3 checks: Botox could help, but pairing it with splints or physical therapy first may optimize results.
- <2 checks: Start conservatively with night guards or targeted exercises—and revisit Botox if pain continues.
