Understanding Your Jaw Pain

The masseter muscles, which connect your cheekbone to your lower jaw, are essential for everyday activities like speaking, chewing, and facial expressions. These powerful muscles run along the sides of your face and are constantly working; however, if they are strained or overworked, they can cause significant discomfort.

When this powerful muscle, along with the temporalis muscle, becomes strained, you might experience:

  • Persistent jaw pain and facial tension
  • Regular headaches and temple discomfort
  • Difficulty opening your mouth fully
  • Clicking or popping sounds in your jaw
  • Worn-down teeth from grinding
  • Facial asymmetry due to enlarged jaw muscles

How Injectable Muscle Relaxants Can Help

Our carefully administered injectable muscle relaxants work by temporarily reducing the intensity of your masseter muscle function. This innovative treatment helps alleviate temporomandibular joint dysfunction symptoms while maintaining your ability to chew and speak normally. The treatment is particularly effective for:

  • Reducing the force of unconscious teeth-grinding
  • Relieving TMJ pain and associated headaches
  • Decreasing tension in both the masseter and temporalis muscles
  • Creating a more balanced facial appearance
  • Preventing further wear on your teeth
