Botox for Jaw (Masseter) Muscles | Teeth Grinding & Dental Evaluation
What is Masseter Botox?
The masseter muscles are the main chewing muscles. In patients who grind or clench their teeth (bruxism), these muscles are often overactive, leading to:
• Jaw and facial pain
• Headaches and neck tension
• Tooth wear and fractures
• Stress on the jaw joints (TMJ)
• A widened or square jaw appearance
​
Botox injections into the masseter muscles gently reduce muscle activity, helping relieve pain and tension while protecting the teeth. In many cases, it also softens the jawline.
