BOTOX for cosmetics temporarily reduces muscle movement to reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles in the face. Functionally, BOTOX provides the same effect for the temporalis and masseter muscles around the temples and lower jaw. Temporarily weakening these muscles reduces the amount of force they can exert, protecting the teeth from the destructive effects of chronic bruxism and relieving the muscles so they can rest and heal. BOTOX injected directly into these overactive jaw muscles can effectively relieve jaw pain, bruxism, and headaches and lasts 3-4 months before additional treatment may be necessary.
