What is Masseter Botox and How is it Applied?

Masseter Botox is applied by injecting small doses of botulinum toxin directly into the masseter muscle that allows the jaw to move. After the injection, the muscle in the area is weakened and the jaw contraction and teeth grinding are terminated. The main benefits of masseter botox are as follows:

• This procedure provides significant muscle relaxation and helps to reduce grinding-related abrasions on the teeth.
• Eliminates teeth grinding and jaw clenching.
  Reduces joint damage and headaches.
• It slims the jaw structure and eliminates the square appearance.
• It reduces the size of the overgrowing jaw muscle, thus making the chin thin and prominent.
• This application, which is quite safe, does not carry any risk as it does not require surgical operation.

Masseter Botox is a very safe and successful treatment method. None of the voluntary movements such as chewing and facial expression are affected by this procedure, all chewing movements can be continued normally after treatment. There is also the advantage of returning to work life in a short time after the botox procedure, which takes about 10 minutes.
