Botox® Cosmetic & TMD Relief in Florence, AL
Botox® Cosmetic temporarily relaxes targeted facial muscles to smooth forehead lines, crow's feet, and frown lines. The same treatment can also relieve jaw muscle tension and pain caused by teeth clenching and grinding (bruxism/TMD).
What Is Botox Cosmetic?
Botox Cosmetic is an injectable treatment that temporarily reduces the activity of specific muscles. For cosmetic use, it smooths the dynamic wrinkles that form from repeated facial expressions — forehead lines, the lines between the brows, and crow's feet around the eyes.
Therapeutically, Botox can relax the masseter (jaw) muscle to reduce tension, pain, and wear on teeth caused by clenching and grinding. This makes it especially useful in a dental practice, where jaw health and smile health are closely connected.
