Masseter Botox for Jaw Pain, Teeth Grinding & TMJ Relief in Petts Wood
At H Williams and Associates, we understand how frustrating jaw pain, teeth grinding, and tension can be. That’s why we’re proud to offer Masseter Botox, a safe, minimally invasive treatment that targets the root cause of many TMJ-related problems.
What is Masseter Botox?
This treatment involves injecting small amounts of Botulinum Toxin A into the masseter muscles (the main jaw muscles) to help them relax. By reducing overactivity, it can:
- Relieve jaw pain and tightness
- Reduce teeth grinding and clenching, especially at night
- Ease TMJ discomfort
- Soften and slim a bulky or square jawline caused by muscle enlargement
Because it works directly on the muscles, patients often notice significant improvement in both comfort and appearance.
Masseter Botox is a quick, comfortable procedure that typically takes just 15–30 minutes, with minimal to no downtime. Results usually appear within 1–2 weeks and last for around 3–4 months. For lasting relief, we recommend regular maintenance appointments.
All treatments are carried out by our experienced clinical team in our CQC-registered dental clinic, ensuring the highest standards of care and safety.
What is TMJ?
TMJ stands for Temporomandibular Joint, the hinge connecting your jaw to your skull. TMJ disorders can cause pain, tightness, and problems with jaw movement.
Is Masseter Botox safe?
Yes, when performed by trained professionals in a regulated setting, Masseter Botox is a safe and effective treatment with minimal side effects.
Will it change how I chew?
The treatment targets muscle overactivity without affecting normal chewing function.
How long do results last?
Most patients enjoy results for 3–4 months before a top-up is needed.
Can it help with headaches?
For some patients, reducing jaw clenching also reduces tension headaches linked to TMJ disorders.
