Botox is a very effective but expensive treatment for TMJ.

I've had 3 treatments that last about 4-5 months and it has significantly improved my quality of life.

It's been over a year since I've had one and the symptoms have started to creep back, but they're mostly induced by alcohol and caffeine (which I've mostly cut out.)

Just knowing that there's a treatment that I can get if the pain gets too bad is a huge psychological relief.
