Burlington, ON, July 14, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is the small joint in front of the human ear and connects the temporal bone to the mandible. In a healthy person, the hinge allows smooth jaw motion for easier chewing, yawning, and talking. However, TMJ can be impaired due to improper bite (malocclusion), stress, overexertion, tooth grinding (bruxism), and jaw injury.

伯灵顿，安大略省，2024年7月14日（环球通讯社）--颞下颌关节（TMJ）是人耳前方的小关节，连接颞骨和下颌骨。对于健康的人来说，铰链可以使下颌平滑运动，更容易咀嚼、打哈欠和说话。然而，由于咬合不正确（错牙合）、压力、过度劳累、磨牙（磨牙症）和下颌损伤，颞下颌关节可能受损。

Other causes for this condition are infectious diseases, strenuous exercises, and fractures of facial bone. Burlington Family Dental Centre offers Botox therapy to alleviate TMJ symptoms. Whether patients are experiencing chronic headaches, worn teeth, facial pain and jaw spasms, jaw clicking (and popping), ear pain, or submandibular gland swelling, the center uses non-surgical and minimally invasive treatment to treat and reduce the pain.

这种情况的其他原因是传染病，剧烈运动和面部骨折。伯灵顿家庭牙科中心提供肉毒杆菌疗法来缓解颞下颌关节症状。无论患者是否患有慢性头痛、牙齿磨损、面部疼痛和下巴痉挛、下巴咔哒声（和爆裂声）、耳痛或颌下腺肿胀，该中心都采用非手术和微创治疗来治疗和减轻疼痛。

The dental office also uses Botox to treat jaw pain and migraines. Botox for TMJ Burlington treatment is straightforward and does not require hospitalization. At Burlington Family Dental Centre, it starts with a consultation. The dentist may ask questions such as how long patients have experienced headaches, where the pain is, and whether they have tried alternative treatments such as yoga and physio.

牙科诊所也使用肉毒杆菌来治疗下颌疼痛和偏头痛。TMJ-Burlington治疗的肉毒杆菌毒素很简单，不需要住院治疗。在伯灵顿家庭牙科中心，它从咨询开始。牙医可能会问一些问题，例如患者头痛多长时间，疼痛在哪里，以及他们是否尝试过瑜伽和理疗等替代疗法。

The next step is taking measurements of masseter muscles for precision. The dentist also measures a patient's bite and maps out the range of their jaw movements before taking photos. With a better understanding of the condition, the clinic injects in one site, a process that takes around 30 minutes.

下一步是精确测量咬肌。在拍照之前，牙医还会测量患者的咬合情况，并绘制出他们下颌运动的范围。为了更好地了解病情，诊所在一个部位注射，这个过程大约需要30分钟。

Afterward, a patient may need one or two more sessions over a couple of months for better results. In addition to being effective, Botox injections by Burlington Family Dental Centre are painless. Like any dental procedure, Botox has afterc.

之后，患者可能需要在几个月内再进行一次或两次治疗才能取得更好的效果。除了有效之外，伯灵顿家庭牙科中心的肉毒杆菌注射也是无痛的。像任何牙科手术一样，肉毒杆菌毒素也有afterc。
