TMD/TMJ & MIGRAINE THERAPY

BOTOX® for TMD, Migraines, and More

Non-Surgical Alternative Treatment to Help Patients Find Relief

When most patients think of BOTOX®, thoughts of erasing wrinkles and frown lines frequently come to mind. But what many may not know is that BOTOX® has proven successful as an alternative treatment for jaw tension, pain, and symptoms of TMJ (TMD), or temporo-mandibular joint, disorder.

Koehn Dentistry & Aesthetics’ Kansas City, MO, practice brings patients this revolutionary, non-surgical approach to relieving the pain and discomfort associated with TMJ (TMD). BOTOX® allows the facial muscles and muscles surrounding the jaw to relax, keeping them from engaging in unconscious movement of the jaw that commonly results in pain, headaches, and migraines.

If you have questions about if BOTOX® treatment for pain relief may be right for you, we invite you to call 816-505-2222 to schedule a consultation with Dr. Koehn. During your visit, Dr. Koehn will provide you with an in-depth overview of what to expect during treatment and discuss if you may be a good candidate for the procedure. In some cases, BOTOX® for the treatment of TMJ (TMD) may be covered by your insurance provider. Our helpful office staff can assist you seeing if you qualify.

  • Non-surgical approach to treating TMJ (TMD), jaw pain, tension, headaches, and migraines
  • Virtually pain-free, with treatments able to be completed in 30-minutes or less
  • Often preferred to cortisone shots or the wearing of a mouth or nightguard

  • Teeth Grinding Treatment

    Chronic bruxism (teeth grinding and clenching) wears down tooth enamel, causes muscle pain and stiffness, and can lead to issues with the temporomandibular joint and jaw pain. Our treatment includes custom mouth guards that keep teeth apart to help soothe muscles and protect teeth or the administration of Botox ®. To discover your individual treatment plan, our team conducts a thorough consultation of your muscles and determines your range of motion before providing the proper treatment.
