Jaw clenching and TMJ
Some habits come on holiday with you.
Is your jaw still tight a week into your stay? Small doses of Botox® by Allergan relax the chewing muscle behind jaw clenching, at our three clinics in Bali.
What Botox can reach
Bite down and press your fingertips to the side of your jaw. The muscle that tightens is the masseter. Botox relaxes it, so the clench and any soreness in the muscle can ease.
It does not reach every cause of jaw pain, and a jaw made wide mainly by bone stays wide. Tell your doctor about any trouble in the jaw joint itself, the TMJ. Results vary, and the consultation shows whether Botox can help.
Fitting it into your trip
Tension often eases within one to two weeks, so book early in your stay if you want to feel the change before you fly home. One treatment lasts three to six months, and the effect goes home with you.
Skip saunas, steam rooms and hard exercise for 24 to 48 hours afterwards. A surf lesson counts.
Where to have it
Your doctor can see you at Legian, Ubud or Canggu, and the consultation is complimentary, as is the car from Kuta, Legian, Seminyak or Kerobokan.
Book ahead and our driver does the round trip. Tell us where you are staying.
