🦷 Could Botox Have Prevented My Jaw Surgery? 💉
In college, I cracked my own tooth from clenching so hard at night. 😨 My dentist sent me to a surgeon, who recommended jaw surgery to realign my bite. Insurance denied it, so I lived with jaw pain, headaches, and cracking for 7 YEARS before it finally got approved.
The surgery stopped the cracking, but my clenching and headaches returned. 😣 I was also left with facial asymmetry. Then I learned about Masseter Botox… and everything changed!
💉 Within days of my first Botox treatment, my pain improved. I now get 30-40 units every 4 months, and it has been LIFE-CHANGING!
Do I think Botox could have prevented my surgery? 100% YES! I likely wouldn’t have needed surgery (or dealt with the asymmetry it left behind).
