How Masseter Botox Works
The masseter represents one of the body's most forceful muscles, enabling powerful jaw closure during mastication. When this muscle becomes chronically overactive, it generates:
- Teeth grinding (bruxism) and clenching
- Jaw pain and stiffness
- Tension headaches
- Enlarged, square jawline appearance
Botox relaxes these muscles, reducing their activity and size over time. This provides functional relief from TMJ symptoms and can create a slimmer facial profile.
