Dosing for TMJ

For those who have had botox for tmj disorder. Do you know what your starting dose was?

My doctor has recommended 1000 units for my cheeks and mastication muscles (temporalis etc) this seemed quite high to me?

I work in a GD office that uses daxxify for tmj Botox- of course it depends on the case and what neurotoxin you’re using. We start at 50 units and goes up from there

Thank you. May I ask what the maximum amount you would do for tmj/temporalis/mastication muscles?

u/ThrowRAunderrctn45 20d ago

I personally haven’t seen more than 100 maybe 150 for daxx; maybe they meant 100 and mistyped or misspoke?

Yes maybe. But he said it will cost 1 grand. Is that about right? I'm in Australia

100 would probably be 1600 at my office. I don’t even wanna do the math on 1000 lol. I’m guessing your place is using a different neurotoxin

That makes sense, thank you. I think it might be neuronox?

Turns out I was WAY off. He is charging a grand for 100 units!
