How does botox help with TMJ?

Hi, Botox is classified in category C for the pregnancy safety classification, which means that it has not been examined in pregnant women. Since a healthy fetus is the most important priority for every pregnant woman, I strongly discourage the use of Botox for cosmetic purposes during pregnancy. Just because the risk is not worth it, no matter how unlikely it is. On the other hand, there is really nothing to worry about Botox if you are not already pregnant and are just considering trying to get pregnant.

Thank you for your question. There's a couple of reasons why you could be "botox resistant". 1. Maybe the botox has worked very well and you do not have enlarged masseter muscles anymore, therefore, injecting more toxin will not shrink your jawline any further. 2. There are some people who develop antibodies to botox. You may need to use a different brand of toxin if your masseters are still hypertrophic. The only permanent ways to reduce your jawline are surgical. Either your muscle can be reduced or your mandible can be reduced or both. Hope this answers your question.
