Masseter Botox for TMJ Pain & Teeth Grinding

Conveniently located to serve the areas of Lafayette, LA

Clenching and grinding place constant strain on the masseter, the muscle that closes the jaw. That strain can lead to jaw soreness, tension headaches, worn or sensitive teeth, and a jaw that feels tight on waking. Placing neuromodulator into the masseter reduces the force of the clench, giving the muscle and the joint a chance to rest.

Many patients notice their jaw feels looser within two to three weeks, with relief typically lasting three to four months. Because the treatment reduces the size of the muscle over time, it often slims the lower face as a secondary effect — which some patients welcome and others simply accept. Your consultation will cover your symptoms, your dental history, and whether this treatment is a good fit alongside anything your dentist has recommended.
