Botox Injectable Treatments
Botox for TMJ
Living with TMJ dysfunction can feel like carrying stress in your jaw every waking moment. Jaw tension, teeth grinding (bruxism), facial pain, and headaches can interfere with how you sleep, eat, speak, and focus—turning everyday tasks into chronic discomfort.
At Victoria Rose Aesthetics, we offer therapeutic Botox to relieve TMJ symptoms by relaxing overactive jaw muscles, reducing inflammation, and restoring balanced function. This safe, effective treatment targets the root cause of tension and grinding, helping you regain a sense of ease—often without the need for oral appliances or long-term medication.
The procedure is performed by Victoria Rose Cyr, an Advanced Practice Nurse and National Clinical Trainer in aesthetic injectables. With deep knowledge of facial musculature and years of clinical experience, Victoria delivers TMJ treatment with the precision and care trusted by medical professionals across Canada.
Clinically proven, Health Canada–approved, and delivered by a trusted medical expert—Botox for TMJ could be your path to daily comfort.

How Botox Treats TMJ—and Who It’s Designed For
Why It Works & Who It Helps
How it works
Botox works by temporarily relaxing the masseter and temporalis muscles—two of the key culprits in jaw tension, clenching, and grinding. By reducing the intensity of involuntary muscle contractions, Botox relieves pressure on the TMJ joint and softens the force that causes pain, headaches, and dental wear.
Who It's For
This treatment is ideal for patients who suffer from TMJ dysfunction, frequent jaw clenching or grinding, facial tightness, earaches, or tension-related headaches. If you've tried night guards or medications without lasting relief—or want a drug-free, non-surgical option—Botox may be an excellent fit.
Health Canada Approved
Botox is a clinically validated, Health Canada–approved treatment for therapeutic use in muscle disorders and chronic tension. When administered by a qualified medical professional, it offers a safe, targeted solution for TMJ-related symptoms with minimal side effects.
Effective and Efficient Results
Within one to two weeks, most patients report noticeable relief from jaw tightness, facial pain, and clenching. Over time, you may also see reduced wear on your teeth, less jaw popping, and a more balanced facial contour—especially if masseter hypertrophy was contributing to a square or widened jawline. Results typically last 3 to 4 months and can be maintained with regular follow-up treatment

Treatment Process
Botox for TMJ
Treatment
We begin with a detailed health and symptom assessment, including bite patterns, muscle activity, and previous treatments. Victoria will determine if Botox is right for your case and explain the injection sites and approach.
The procedure lasts about 15–20 minutes. Botox is injected into the jaw muscles (usually the masseter and sometimes the temporalis) using ultra-fine needles. Most patients describe it as brief pinching or pressure.
You can return to your daily routine right away. Minor tenderness at injection sites may occur but typically resolves within 24–48 hours.
Avoid rubbing or massaging the treated areas, lying flat for 4 hours, or doing strenuous activity the same day. We’ll provide detailed aftercare instructions for optimal results.
Relief typically begins within 7–10 days and peaks around 3–4 weeks. Results last about 3–4 months and can be safely repeated to maintain comfort and function.
Botox for TMJ vs. Other Treatments
For many patients, traditional TMJ therapies—like night guards, physiotherapy, or medications—offer limited or temporary relief. Botox targets the root cause of overactive jaw muscles and brings relief without relying on daily devices or systemic drugs.
