Botox for Masseter Muscle & Jaw Pain — How It Works Teeth grinding and jaw clenching (bruxism) overwork the masseter muscles — the strong muscles at the angle of your jaw used for chewing. When these muscles become enlarged and tight, they can cause: • Jaw pain and stiffness • Morning headaches • Facial heaviness • Worn-down teeth • A bulky lower face shape How Botox Helps Botox is a purified protein that gently relaxes overactive muscles. When precisely injected into the masseter: ✓ It reduces excessive muscle contractions ✓ Relieves jaw tension and pain ✓ Decreases teeth grinding intensity ✓ Prevents stress on the jaw joint (TMJ) ✓ Softens the square jaw appearance Bonus Aesthetic Benefit — Face Slimming Overactive masseter muscles can make the lower face look wide and bulky. As Botox relaxes the muscle over weeks: • The muscle gradually becomes smaller • The jawline looks slimmer and more contoured • Facial proportions appear softer and more feminine This creates a V-shaped facial appearance without surgery. Treatment Details • Quick procedure (10–15 minutes) • Minimal discomfort • No downtime • Results begin in 1–2 weeks • Full effect in ~4 weeks • Lasts 4–6 months Who Is It For? • People with teeth grinding / clenching • Jaw pain or tightness • Frequent tension headaches • Square or bulky jawline • Patients wanting facial slimming without surgery Safe. Precise. Therapeutic + Aesthetic benefits in one treatment. #drshreyamunjral #botox #jawpain #botoxmasseter
