Masseter Botox

Masseter Botox is only performed when the masseter muscle is larger than normal with associated symptoms. This is seen in patients with teeth grinding, jaw clenching, temporomandibular joint disorder or TMD and temporal headaches. The masseter muscle, is a muscle of mastication/chewing. By injecting Botox into this muscle, the tension from teeth grinding and jaw clenching is reduced resulting in a less inflamed masseter muscle. As a result, patients will experience a reduction in unwanted muscle contractions in the jaw which will cause less jaw discomfort, tension, headaches and tooth fractures. An added benefit of Masseter Botox is a slimmer jawline without any disruption to jaw movement and chewing.
