There are times when we clench and grind excessively, especially during our sleep. Temporomandibular dysfunction (TMD) is a condition that affects our chewing muscles and the temporomandibular/ jaw joint (TMJ).

This can cause:

  • tension and pain in the chewing muscles that can radiate to our face, jaw, ears, neck and shoulders and joint (TMJ)
  • headaches and migraine
  • wear or fracture to our teeth
  • difficulty opening our mouth wide
  • cheek and tongue trauma

In some patients, relaxing the chewing muscles results in reduced pain and stiffness.  This muscular relaxation can be achieved by using a drug called BOTOX®.  Botox is a purified form of Botulinum toxin-A which causes profound muscular relaxation (of up to several months duration) when injected into a muscle.
