Theraputic Botox
Bruxism, TMD and myofascial pain, tension and migraine headaches are specific conditions that affect many patients and can be managed with Botox treatment.
Botulinum toxin, commonly referred to as Botox, Dysport or Xeomin, is administered to treat a variety of orofacial conditions, including bruxism (clenching and grinding of teeth), temporomandibular joint disorders (TMD) and myofascial pain, tension and migraine headaches, excessive gingival display, benign bilateral masseteric hypertrophy and to reduce facial wrinkles.
Botox works by blocking certain nerve signals that control muscle activity and can be used to treat uncontrolled muscle contractions and to relax chronically contracted muscles.
This procedure helps to relax muscles, which reduces pain and inflammation.
