Summary The Gleamery’s GleamTox™ (using purified Xeomin®) provides non-invasive relief for TMJ, clenching, and grinding.

If you’ve ever felt your jaw click, pop, or lock when you chew, yawn, or talk, you’re not alone. These symptoms are prevalent, and often a sign that your jaw muscles are working overtime. For many people, this discomfort can be linked to TMJ disorder (temporomandibular joint dysfunction) or chronic teeth grinding.

The good news? There’s a gentle, clinically backed treatment that can help: GleamTox™ at The Gleamery. Unlike practices that use the Botox® brand, The Gleamery uses Xeomin®, an ultra-pure, highly effective neurotoxin that offers equal results with fewer additives.

If jaw popping or tension is disrupting your daily comfort, here’s how GleamTox can help restore balance, so you can chew, speak, and smile with ease.

Why Is Your Jaw Clicking or Popping?

Jaw clicking is often caused by inflammation, muscle hyperactivity, or misalignment within the TMJ. While clicking can sometimes be temporary, persistent popping—especially paired with discomfort—usually means your jaw muscles need relief. Some of the most common culprits include:

• Chronic teeth grinding (bruxism)

Often related to stress or sleep habits, grinding overworks the masseter muscles.

• TMJ disorder

TMJ dysfunction can cause clicking, locking, headaches, and jaw soreness.

• Clenching during the day or night

Many people don’t realize they clench subconsciously until symptoms appear.

• Bite misalignment

Uneven bite forces can strain the TMJ and surrounding muscles.

How “Botox” Helps TMJ (And Why The Gleamery Uses Xeomin Instead)

Masseter neurotoxin treatments are one of the most effective, non-invasive ways to ease TMJ tension. The treatment works by relaxing the overactive masseter muscles, reducing stress on the joint and restoring smoother, more comfortable movement.

At The Gleamery, GleamTox™ uses Xeomin, not the traditional Botox® brand. Why?

Xeomin = Purified, Additive-Free, and Long-Lasting

Xeomin contains only the active wrinkle- and tension-relaxing ingredient—no accessory proteins, fillers, or unnecessary additives. This ultra-pure formulation offers several key benefits:

Lower Risk of Antibody Resistance: Because Xeomin doesn’t contain added proteins, the body is less likely to build up resistance. This means results can remain effective over years of treatment.

Equal Effectiveness to Botox®: Xeomin delivers the same muscle-relaxing benefits for TMJ and jaw grinding—so you get all the relief with a cleaner, more streamlined formula.

Smoother, More Natural Feel: Many guests report that Xeomin feels lighter and more natural as it settles.

Excellent for Long-Term TMJ Management: If you clench or grind chronically, Xeomin offers consistent results without the long-term risks associated with additive-heavy products.

How GleamTox™ Relieves Jaw Clicking and TMJ Symptoms

GleamTox is specifically designed to ease tension, reduce clicking, and help prevent the symptoms of jaw overuse. Here’s what you can expect:

1. Reduced Clicking, Popping, and Locking

As the masseter muscles relax, the jaw joint has more freedom to move smoothly.

2. Relief from Tension & Soreness

No more waking up with jaw pain, ear pressure, or temple headaches.

3. Less Grinding & Clenching

Nighttime grinding softens over time, protecting your enamel from wear.

4. A Slimmer Jawline as a Bonus

As the masseter muscles relax, the face naturally appears narrower and more contoured. (Many guests love this aesthetic perk!)

5. Non-Invasive, Quick Treatment

Most GleamTox appointments take only a few minutes—and there’s no downtime.

When to Consider GleamTox for TMJ Symptoms

You may benefit from masseter treatment if you experience:

  • Clicking or popping when opening or closing your mouth
  • Chronic tension in the jaw or temples
  • Grinding at night
  • Jaw fatigue when chewing
  • Headaches related to clenching
  • Earaches or pressure with no infection
  • Worn-down teeth or chips from grinding

If these symptoms sound familiar, GleamTox provides a safe, fast-acting way to get relief.

What to Expect at Your GleamTox Appointment

Step 1: Consultation & Assessment

A Gleamery clinician evaluates your jaw movement, checks for tenderness, and listens to your symptoms.

Step 2: Customized Treatment Plan

Dosage is tailored to your comfort level, facial structure, and severity of clenching.

Step 3: Quick Micro-Injections

The treatment takes just a few minutes and feels like tiny pinches.

Step 4: Noticeable Relief Within 1–2 Weeks

Jaw tension eases first, followed by reduced clicking and grinding.

Step 5: Results Last 3–4 Months

Because Xeomin resists long-term resistance, ongoing care remains effective.
