TMJ
About TMJ
Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMJ) is a common condition that affects the jaw joint and the muscles that control jaw movement.
The temporomandibular joint connects the jawbone to the skull and is essential for activities such as talking, chewing, and yawning.
Individuals with TMJ disorder may experience a range of symptoms, including pain in the jaw joint and surrounding tissues, difficulty in moving the jaw, and an audible clicking or popping noise when the jaw moves.

Potential Treaments
Botox works by temporarily blocking the nerve signals that cause muscle contraction.
When injected into the muscles involved in jaw movement, specifically the masseter and sometimes the temporalis muscles, Botox can reduce muscle activity, thus alleviating pain and discomfort associated with TMJ disorders.
This can be particularly helpful for patients who experience jaw tension, frequent jaw clenching, or teeth grinding (bruxism), which often exacerbates TMJ symptoms.

Jessica is amazing- her work and as a person!
I've been to her location a few times for lip fillers and she makes them look so natural
(just how I like them)
Only person I trust with my lips!
