Are you tired of waking up with jaw pain or experiencing tension headaches due to clenching and grinding?
Botulinum Toxin: Trust us, its your Jaw’s New Best Friend
Imagine your jaw is like a seesaw at a playground. When everything’s balanced, it’s fun and easy. But what if one kid is much heavier than the other? The seesaw gets stuck, causes strain, and nobody has a good time.
That’s what’s happening in your mouth when you clench, grind, or have TMD. Your jaw muscles are working overtime, your teeth are taking a beating, and your temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is crying out for help.
Botulinum toxin steps in and balances those overactive muscles. By selectively treating muscles we can reduce the pressure on your jaw and teeth.
Why Choose Harmony for Your TMD Treatment?
At Harmony, we don’t just zap muscles and call it a day. Our team includes dentists who are love occlusion (how your teeth meet). Why does this matter? Because TMD isn’t just about muscles – it’s about how your whole mouth works together.
Here’s the scoop:
- Occlusal Expertise: Our dentist team members understand the intricate dance between your teeth, jaw, and muscles. They can spot those pesky interferences in your bite that might be causing your TMD.
- Holistic Approach: We don’t just focus on the masseter (your main chewing muscle). We look at the whole picture – including accessory muscles like your temples. If you relax one muscle in a chain, the rest take the load. A bit like hurting your left leg, so you start leaning on your right. Long term only treating masater can cause serious complications so we prefer to assess and plan from the start.
- Full Face Harmony: We aim for overall balance. Our approach ensures that treating your TMD doesn’t create new issues elsewhere.
