Teeth grinding (bruxism) is a common condition where the jaw muscles are overworked unconsciously, negatively affecting both dental health and facial aesthetics. Masseter Botox is a modern medical aesthetic procedure in which botulinum toxin is injected into the masseter muscle on the sides of the jaw. It helps reduce both jaw clenching and pain, while also slimming the lower face.
Benefits of Masseter Botox
o Reduces Teeth Grinding: Helps prevent the wear of tooth enamel.
o Relieves Pain and Tension: Eases muscle-related pain in the jaw and temple area.
o Facial Slimming Effect: Creates a more contoured and oval appearance in the lower face.
o May Reduce Migraines: Can help alleviate headaches triggered by jaw clenching.
Who Is It Suitable For?
o People who grind their teeth at night and wake up with jaw pain
o Those who want a slimmer, more oval lower face
o Individuals experiencing jaw tension due to stress
o People seeking relief from migraine attacks
Duration and Repeat Sessions
The effect of masseter Botox lasts approximately 4–6 months, depending on the individual. With regular treatments, it provides long-term functional and aesthetic benefits.
