What is Injectable Muscle Relaxant Therapy?

Injectable muscle relaxant therapy, commonly known by the brand name Botox (botulinum toxin type A), is a minimally invasive treatment used to address muscle tension disorders affecting the jaw and facial structures. It is especially effective for patients suffering from temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders and bruxism (chronic teeth grinding and jaw clenching). These conditions can lead to persistent jaw pain, facial discomfort, headaches, and even damage to teeth over time. By precisely targeting overactive facial muscles, Botox relaxes them and alleviates symptoms, resulting in improved comfort, function, and quality of life.
