Will getting Botox or Therapeutic Injectables for TMJ Pain change my smile?
The short answer is, no. You are not alone in thinking this as this is the number one question asked during Botox Consultations. Here’s how this works. The muscles that allow you to clench and grind, which contribute to most people’s TMJ pain, are not the same muscles that allow you smile. The two large muscles in your face, the masseter and temporalis, allow you to close your mouth.
