Can Botox for TMJ affect my chewing or speaking?

Short Answer: In rare cases, excessive dosage may cause mild weakness, but proper placement avoids speech or chewing issues.

We use conservative dosing and precise targeting to relax just the overactive muscles, not those essential for chewing or talking.

You’ll be able to eat and speak normally — most patients notice only the absence of tension and pain.
