SAY GOODBYE TO THE GRIND
TMJ treatment in Highland Park, IL
Say goodbye to TMJ & teeth grinding.
We can do facial slimming using Botox®/Dysport® injections into the masseter muscle. The masseter is a chewing muscle located at the angle of the jaw.
Botox/Dysport masseter injections can also be used to treat TMJ and teeth grinding/clenching. That means our team can help treat problems such as tooth wear, mouth pain, and headaches.

How it works
Most patients find that our masseter injections are very tolerable. The treatment takes only about 10 minutes and is virtually painless. Dr. Perlis will ask you to clench your jaw while she identifies the masseter muscle.
She will then inject Botox/Dysport in this area of the jaw. People who have the injections for the first time often feel immense relief due to the tension finally being released in the masseter muscle.
Terminate TMJ
TMJ can cause migraines, shoulder or neck pain, intense jaw stiffness, popping, and increasing pain in your jaw. This dysfunction can affect the jaw hinge and the surrounding muscles in addition to fractures of your teeth and flattening of your teeth
Botox for Bruxism
In addition to TMJ, these injections are also helpful in treating a similar condition called bruxism. A 2019 review found that Botox safely reduced pain and the frequency of episodes for people with severe bruxism.
This study also proved Botox to be more effective than traditional bruxism treatments, like mouthguards or medications.
Define Your Jawline
An added bonus of our TMJ treatment is a more pronounced, slimmer facial structure. By relaxing the muscles in your upper jaw, Botox works to create a sculpted appearance without looking too sculpted.
These refined, sculpted looks rejuvenate your appearance with just a few injections. We also recommend masseter Botox alongside other treatments like dermal fillers to promote even, symmetrical volume throughout the face.
