Botox Injections | Botulinum Toxin

Botox is the trade name for botulinum toxin. Botulinum is a toxin that interferes with muscle function temporarily. It can weaken and even paralyze muscle. It has so many great uses today. Probably its most widely known use is for reducing the appearance of wrinkles in the face for cosmetic reasons. There are many brands of botulinum toxin on the market today, and Botox is just one of them.

At Elite Oral and Facial Surgery, we do offer cosmetic Botox, but we also offer it for relief of headaches and jaw pain from overactive jaw muscles. So many people grind and/or clench their teeth unconsciously, especially during sleep. This is caused by many factors, but the point is, they can’t control it. This overuse of the muscles causes pain in the sides of the head and the face, and patients spend so much time and resources trying to find a solution. Many patients think they have migraine headaches and seek treatment with a neurologist. When muscle spasm is the cause, injecting the muscles with Botox works wonders. And when complemented by other lifestyle modifications that we will teach you, you can be pain-free.
