If your jaw aches every morning, your temples pound by afternoon, or you have worn your teeth flat from clenching, therapeutic BOTOX may finally quiet the muscles behind it.Annapolis Dental Center offers medical BOTOX for TMJ in Annapolis, administered by Dr. Dele with the careful, conservative approach your face deserves.
Not Cosmetic. Clinical.
Most people hear BOTOX and picture forehead wrinkles. Therapeutic BOTOX is a completely different conversation. Injected in small, precise amounts into overworked jaw muscles like the masseters and temporalis, it calms the constant overdrive that drives teeth grinding, jaw clenching, and tension-type headaches.
The muscles do not stop working. They just stop working overtime. You can still chew, talk, and smile normally, except now you do those things without an aching jaw, a sore neck, and the headache that arrives like clockwork by the end of the day.
- Targets overworked jaw and temple muscles
- Reduces grinding, clenching, and tension headaches
- Preserves normal speech, chewing, and expression
- Small, precisely placed medical doses only
Signs Therapeutic BOTOX Could Help You
Your jaw tells on you in predictable ways: teeth that look flattened or chipped from years of grinding, a jaw that clicks or feels tired after meals, morning facial tightness, ear-region aches without ear infections, and headaches concentrated at the temples. If a custom night guard and lifestyle changes have not broken the cycle, muscle-level therapy is the next logical step.
At your evaluation we map exactly which muscles are overfiring and confirm whether therapeutic BOTOX, night guard therapy, our TMJ treatment options, or a combination makes the most sense for you.
- Flattened, chipped, or sensitive teeth from grinding
- Morning jaw tightness or facial fatigue
- Temple or ear-region headaches
- Jaw clicking, popping, or tiredness when chewing
What Treatment Feels Like
A normal appointment, not an ordeal
Muscle Evaluation
We examine your jaw movement, muscle tenderness, and bite, then map the exact muscles overworking.
Precise Injections
Small amounts placed with a fine needle in targeted muscles. Most visits take under 30 minutes total.
Gradual Relief
Muscle relaxation builds over one to two weeks. We check in to confirm the result is where we want it.
Simple Maintenance
Most patients repeat treatment every three to four months, or as their individual pattern requires.
Why Have This Done in a Dental Office?
Because no one understands jaw muscles like a dentist does
Deep Anatomy Knowledge
Dr. Dele’s residency included orofacial pain, TMJ, sedation, and surgical anatomy. These are the exact muscles he treats every day.
Bite-Level Diagnosis
We evaluate how your teeth, joints, and muscles interact so therapy targets causes, not just symptoms.
Conservative Dosing
Start low, evaluate your response, adjust only what is needed. Your normal expressions stay yours.
Complete TMJ Pathway
Guards, therapy, and BOTOX under one roof, with honest sequencing instead of isolated, one-size-fits-all fixes.
