TMJ-Botox® Treatment
in Orange, CA – Temporomandibular Disorder - Trusted Relief From Jaw Pain
What Is TMJ-Botox® Treatment
and How Does It Work?TMJ-Botox® treatment is a non-surgical solution for jaw pain and tension caused by TMJ disorders—short for temporomandibular joint disorders. These conditions affect the joint that connects your jawbone to your skull, and they can cause pain, headaches, difficulty chewing, clicking sounds, and even jaw locking.
Botox®, known medically as botulinum toxin, is commonly used in cosmetic procedures—but it’s also proven effective in treating TMJ symptoms. When injected into the jaw muscles, Botox® helps relax tight, overworked muscles that contribute to TMJ pain, teeth grinding (bruxism), and tension headaches.
At Wilson & Tran, DDS, we offer TMJ-Botox® treatment in Orange, CA, providing lasting relief without surgery.


Who May Benefit from TMJ-Botox®?

It’s also a great option if you’ve tried mouthguards, physical therapy, or medications without success—or if you want to avoid surgery.
