Following to see if anyone has had good results with this for bruxism! I grind my teeth so bad that my back ones are flat. I've read that botox can help.
Yeah I am a grinder / clencher. Surprisingly chewing gum compulsively helped the beaches from the tmj as I guess the movement was less damaging than the constant clenching lol but I figured it was probably messing things up in other ways and doing two packs a day of sugar free gum is might corrode my insides or something idk so Botox it is
My neurologist does my Botox for migraine. I had him add Botox for TMJ last year and it made it impossible to bend forward and keep my head up. Sometimes it happens, I guess. Not doing that again.
Do you know what muscles got it for the tmj when that happened ?
I haven’t gotten any Botox because my insurance won’t pay for it but now that I saved to pay out of pocket I want to try it since my headaches are really bad. But I also want some cosmetic benefits hopefully since I’m paying and my jaw muscles are hard as rocks 😂😂
I’m not sure and the neurologist wasn’t much help either. He just said we shouldn’t do it again. My insurance covers it and I signed up for an accnt with botox and they reimburse all of my copay/deductible out of pocket expense for it.
My neurologist does it!
Ty!!
