My teeth have always been on the smaller side, but ever since I finished orthodontic treatment, my jaw has hurt and throbbed every winter. When I asked the hospital, they told me that during orthodontic treatment, continuous pressure is applied to the teeth, and like a spring, the force can build up and put strain on the temporomandibular joint. Because of that, pain can occur, and in such cases they said jaw Botox could help ease the symptoms.
