TMJ & Jaw Pain

Chronic clenching and grinding can leave the jaw sore, trigger tension headaches, wear down teeth, and keep the whole face feeling tight. When night guards and other conservative measures aren't enough, neuromodulator injections (Botox, Dysport, Daxxify) can quiet the overactive chewing muscles that drive the pain.

Dr. Kamrani tailors treatment to your symptoms and anatomy: injections into the masseter muscles most often, along with the temporalis and sometimes the pterygoid muscles when they contribute. Relief typically builds over one to two weeks, lasts for months, and can be repeated as needed.
