Candidate Checklist

I grind or clench my teeth (bruxism), especially at night

I experience jaw clicking, popping, or occasional locking

My pain limits chewing, yawning, or speaking comfortably

I’m in generally good health and not pregnant or nursing

I don’t have a neuromuscular disorder (e.g., myasthenia gravis)

I’m committed to follow-up treatments every 3–4 months

How to Use This Quiz

Count your ✔️ checks.
4 or more checks? You’re a strong candidate for TMJ Botox.
2–3 checks? Botox may help, but consider combining with splints or PT first.
Fewer than 2 checks? Start with conservative therapies (night guard, exercises) and revisit Botox if pain persists.
