What Is BOTOX?

BOTOX is the brand name of a diluted form of botulinum toxin. While the idea of having a toxin injected into your face might seem intimidating, there is really nothing to be afraid of. This substance has the remarkable ability to limit muscle movements. As a result, the skin on top of those muscles takes on a much smoother appearance.

BOTOX can also be used to relax facial muscles and reduce the pain, headaches, and muscle spasms that often accompany TMJ disorder (TMD).

Who Is a Good Candidate for BOTOX?

You might be a good candidate for BOTOX if:

  • You feel self-conscious about movement-based wrinkles. BOTOX can treat issues like crow’s feet, lines between the eyebrows, horizontal forehead lines, lines around the lips, and more.
  • You are at least 18 years old. Most people start BOTOX when they are in their late 20s or older.
  • You are struggling with jaw pain and other TMD symptoms. BOTOX may be able to relax your facial muscles and serve as a complement to other types of TMJ therapy.
