Masseter / TMJ Treatment: Find Relief and Achieve a Slimmer Jawline

Did you know that Botox (or “Tox”) can do more than smooth wrinkles? This powerful neurotoxin is also effective in treating conditions related to the masseter muscle, such as TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disorders and teeth grinding. Many individuals suffer from issues linked to this muscle, which can impact comfort, jawline appearance, and even day-to-day activities.

Understanding the Masseter Muscle and Its Role

The masseter muscle is located on each side of your face, connecting your cheekbone to your jawbone. As one of the primary muscles involved in chewing, it’s in constant use. For some, overactivity in this muscle leads to teeth grinding, clenching, and even TMJ pain. Over time, excessive use of the masseter can contribute to a wider, more squared appearance of the jawline—a concern for those who prefer a slimmer facial profile.

How Tox Can Help

When Tox is injected into the masseter muscle, it works by relaxing and paralyzing specific muscles to reduce activity temporarily. This can provide immense relief for those who suffer from the discomfort and pressure of constant clenching or grinding. Many patients also appreciate the aesthetic benefits; by reducing muscle bulk, Tox injections can create a slimming effect on the lower face, enhancing facial contours without surgery.

What to Expect During Treatment

Tox treatments for the masseter are relatively quick and minimally invasive. During your session, we’ll apply a numbing gel to ensure comfort, and within days, you’ll begin to notice the effects of relaxed muscles. Results typically last several months, and for many patients, regular treatments allow for longer intervals between appointments over time.

Is Masseter / TMJ Treatment Right for You?

If you’re experiencing TMJ pain, discomfort from clenching and grinding, or if you’re interested in refining your jawline, Tox treatment may be an ideal solution. It offers both functional and aesthetic benefits, helping you feel more comfortable and confident.
