Masseter Botulinum injections

Involves injecting Botulinum into the masseter muscle, which is one of the several muscles responsible for chewing.

​

This will block nerve signals to the muscle, causing it to relax.

​​

This treatment is commonly used in the following cases:

​

Teeth Grinding: It treats teeth grinding, medically known as bruxism, by decreasing the grinding force and frequency, and minimizing pain.

Jaw Pain and Clenching: It helps in reducing jaw tension, pain, and clenching.

Headaches: It relieves tension headaches, which are often associated with temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMD).

​

Contouring a Square Jaw: It can soften the shape of the face, making it appear slimmer by reducing the size of the jaw muscles.

The effects are temporary and usually last 3 to 4 months. To maintain the results, the procedure needs to be repeated.
