Chin Botox

What is Chin Botox?

The masseter muscle is a fairly large muscle that extends from the upper jaw to the lower jaw. Its enlargement due to excessive activity, to the point where it is visible from the outside, is called “masseter hypertrophy.” Masseter hypertrophy can develop due to teeth clenching and grinding, and is also frequently seen in individuals who consume hard foods and chew gum.

Masseter Botox (jaw Botox) is a procedure performed to reduce increased activity in the jaw muscles through the application of Botulinum toxin, ultimately preventing muscle contraction.

In what situations is jaw Botox used?

Masseter Botox, also known as jaw Botox, is applied to eliminate angular forms or asymmetries in the lower part of the face caused by excessive activity of the masseter muscle. Bruxism, a condition characterized by teeth clenching or grinding during the day or night, can lead to various problems such as tooth wear, periodontal lesions, temporomandibular joint disorders, and muscle pain. In addition to occlusal splints, medications, and behavioral approaches, jaw Botox injections can be used for patients who grind their teeth.
