What is Masseter Botox? (Teeth Grinding Botox)

Masseter botox is the injection of botulinum toxin (botox) into the masseter muscle located in the jaw area, which plays an active role in habits such as teeth grinding and clenching. Especially in people with bruxism (teeth grinding disease), this muscle works excessively, causing problems such as jaw pain, headaches and widening of the facial line. Masseter botox offers both functional and aesthetic solutions by temporarily reducing the activity of this muscle.

How is Masseter (Teeth Grinding) Botox Performed?

Before the application, the intensity and structure of the muscle is analyzed. Then, under sterile conditions, botulinum toxin is injected into the masseter muscle with very fine needles. The procedure usually takes 5-10 minutes and can be performed without the need for anesthesia. Patients can immediately return to their daily lives after the procedure.

How Long Does Jaw Botox (Masseter Botox) Effect Last?

Although the effect of botox varies from person to person, it lasts an average of 3 to 6 months. This period can be extended with regular sessions and the tightness in the jaw muscle decreases. Aesthetically, results such as thinning in facial features and V-shape definition are also seen.

Why is Masseter Botox Performed?

  • Reducing teeth grinding and clenching (bruxism) complaints
  • Eliminating muscle-related discomforts such as jaw pain and headaches
  • Reducing the width in the lower part of the face, achieving a more elegant appearance
  • Providing long-term comfort as an alternative to temporary solutions like night guards
