If you suffer pain from migraine headaches or jaw clenching from TMJ (Temporomandibular) disorder resulting in pain (temples, ear or neck) – Botox is proven to be a safe and effective treatment. Dr. David Yew is an expert in using Botox to treat both the masseter and temporalis muscles to relieve jaw clenching and headaches. Effects are seen within 3-7 days and can last 4-6 months. (In our experience – 100% of our patients have shown improvement if they have tenderness to palpation of the TMJ muscles during the clinical assessment. Please note: the causes of headaches are numerous and should be first evaluated by your regular physician to rule out any serious brain conditions.)
Most patients with migraines do not get full relief of their headaches. Part of the reason is because the neurologists who administer Botox in the temples may not be trained to inject in the jaw muscles. Conversely – dentists and aesthetic injectors may know how to inject the jaw muscles but are not skilled at injecting in the temples. As a specialist – Dr Yew is proficient in injecting both migraine and TMJ areas to give maximum pain relief.
Botox is FDA approved for the treatment of chronic migraines and is safely injected into specific muscles of the head and neck known as “trigger points” (where the pain originates.) When these muscles are relaxed – it stops the transmission of pain to the brain. Over time with repeated treatments – the amount of Botox necessary for relief is decreased due to the reduction in the size of the muscles.
Extensive clinical research confirms the safety and efficacy of Botox injections for migraines. One study, published in the Journal of Therapeutics and Clinical Risk Management – found that 70% of patients experienced “reduction in the frequency of headache days.” Another study found that Botox “not only reduces headache days but also leads to improvement in functioning and quality of life.” Furthermore, the treatment is “safe and well-tolerated in the long term with no morbidity.”
TMJ Disorders refer to pain and headaches associated with dysfunction of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). This joint is located on both sides of your head, where the skull and jaw meet. The joint is involved in talking, eating, swallowing, clenching and grinding. TMJ Disorders occur when the temporomandibular joint becomes eroded from overuse and aging.
Symptoms of TMJ Disorders include:
Botox for TMJ involves injections administered in different facial muscles, such as the jaw, temples, or forehead. Botox improves TMJ symptoms by relaxing the muscles responsible for jaw spasms, tension, or chronic pain associated with TMJ disorders.
Extensive clinical research has shown the safety and efficacy of Botox injections for TMJ disorders. One study found that “91% of patients reported less pain associated with TMJ disorders in patients who do not respond to conservative treatment methods.”
A study published in [The Journal of Oral Maxillofacial Surgery] found Botox leads to a “significant decrease of pain and less muscle tenderness while improving the patient’s psychological state.”

TMJ is a joint. TMD is when you feel pain and discomfort in the TMJ. Dr. Yew explains TMD and how Botox can help alleviate the pain and discomfort involved.
Place your fingers where your TMJ is and clench your jaw. If the area bulges out 3 fingers or more, Botox treatment may be able to help minimize it.
We are born asymmetrical, and Dr. Yew honors asymmetry in aesthetics. Watch as he shows you what people would look like if they were symmetrical.
