Botox Injections for TMJ and Bruxism
Botox injections are a non-invasive treatment option for managing symptoms of TMJ disorders and bruxism. Botox (onabotulinumtoxinA) works by temporarily relaxing the overactive jaw muscles that contribute to pain, tension, and excessive clenching or grinding.
How Botox Helps:
For TMJ: Botox reduces muscle tension in the jaw, alleviating pain, improving jaw movement, and minimising stress on the temporomandibular joint.
For Bruxism: By relaxing the masseter muscles (the primary muscles involved in grinding), Botox decreases the intensity of clenching and protects teeth from wear and damage.

Blepharopasm
Blepharospasm (pronounced BLEF-uh-roh-spaz-uhm) is a name used to describe involuntary eyelid movement. It is more severe than a regular eye twitch.
Regular eye twitching is common and usually involves sporadic pulsing of the upper or lower eyelid. However, BSP is a stronger spasm that may occur more rhythmically than what is experienced in a regular eye twitch.
Blinking or closing the eyes is a trait seen in severe cases of BSP. This may affect a person’s ability to perform certain tasks, like driving — especially if the eyes are kept closed for more than a few seconds.
Two Types Of Blepharopasm
Primary Blepharopasm
Primary blepharospasm happens without links to any other conditions or diseases. Symptoms appear spontaneously and are believed to be caused by changes in brain chemistry. However, more research is needed to confirm this theory.
Secondary Blepharopasm
Secondary blepharospasm occurs as a result of an outside factor, like disease or trauma. Reflex blepharospasm is a type of secondary blepharospasm that occurs when inflammation or a foreign object irritates the surface of the eye.
