Treating TMD with Botox and Dysport
Suffering from jaw pain, headaches, or the discomfort of teeth grinding? Botox and Dysport treatments can help. As a muscle relaxant, these treatments are highly effective in reducing pain caused by dental disorders like TMD and encouraging the success of associated treatments.
How does it work?
Our approach focuses on the area from your ears to your mouth, targeting the specific muscles that cause TMJ pain and encouraging them to relax. This reduces the tension and strain on your jaw joint, making it easier to move your jaw and lessening pain. It also helps reduce the amount of teeth grinding and clenching, especially during sleep, when we tend to apply more pressure.
Look younger again!
After completing a cosmetic dentistry treatment, Botox or Dysport is a great way to enhance your facial aesthetics even further. We can address common concerns like:
- ZBrow lines (Glabellas/11s)
- ZForehead lines
- ZCrow's feet around the eyes
- ZLip lines
Let’s create a personalized plan tailored to your needs.
FAQ about dental Botox and Dysport
What is TMD?
TMD stands for Temporomandibular Joint Disorder. TMD refers to disorders affecting the TMJ, a crucial joint in the jaw, often worsened by teeth clenching and grinding, known as bruxism. This condition can cause symptoms like jaw clicking, headaches, and pain. Neurotoxin injections, such as Botox and Dysport, are effective treatments for TMD, offering relief by improving jaw function and reducing discomfort.
What is Botox?
Botox is a versatile treatment used for therapeutic relief and cosmetic enhancements. We inject small amounts into targeted areas to reduce muscle activity, which provides relief from migraines, and jaw pain, and enhances your natural beauty.
What is Dysport?
Dysport is a prescription injection used to temporarily improve the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows without changing the look of your whole face. It’s derived from botulinum toxin and works by blocking nerve signals to the muscles, causing them to relax. This results in a reduction of facial wrinkles and also helps address dental conditions like TMD.
What’s the difference between Botox and Dysport?
Botox and Dysport are both neurotoxins used to smooth wrinkles and treat muscle-related conditions. The main differences lie in their formulation, onset of action, and diffusion. Dysport may show results slightly faster and has a broader spread, which can be beneficial for treating larger areas with fewer injections. Botox’s effects are more localized, making it suitable for precise treatments. Both require professional administration to tailor the treatment to individual needs effectively.
Is there downtime after injections?
Typically, there is minimal to no downtime after receiving Botox or Dysport injections. Most patients can resume their normal activities immediately. However, it’s advised to avoid strenuous activities, excessive heat, and lying down for a few hours post-treatment to ensure the best results and minimize any potential side effects like bruising or swelling.
How long do the effects last?
The effects of Botox typically last between 3 to 4 months, while Dysport results can last up to 4 to 5 months. The duration of results can vary based on several factors, including the area treated, your metabolism, and the amount of product used.
