Masseter botox is an effective treatment applied to the jaw muscles (masseter muscles) to help reduce teeth clenching and grinding, jaw pain, facial width, and a square jaw appearance.
At SVS Oral and Dental Health, masseter botox is safely performed by experienced dentists using advanced medical technology.
As one of the most commonly preferred botox applications in dentistry, masseter botox stands out for offering both functional and aesthetic benefits.
Masseter botox is a botulinum toxin application injected into the strong masseter muscle located on the sides of the jaw. When this muscle is overactive, it may cause:
Teeth clenching and grinding (bruxism)
Jaw joint pain
Headaches and temple pain
A hard and square facial appearance
Tooth wear and cracks
With masseter botox, excessive muscle activity is controlled, helping to relieve pain while softening the facial contours and improving overall facial aesthetics.
Masseter botox is one of the most effective and fastest solutions for teeth clenching, jaw pain, headaches, and a square jaw appearance. At SVS Oral and Dental Health, we perform masseter botox treatments with a focus on safety and aesthetic results, guided by experienced dentists. It is an ideal treatment for anyone seeking both functional relief and a slimmer, more refined facial contour.
Masseter botox can be applied to individuals who experience teeth clenching and grinding, suffer from jaw joint pain, wish to slim a square jawline, or have facial asymmetry. At SVS, patients are thoroughly evaluated with free X-ray imaging and, when necessary, tomography.
The masseter botox procedure begins with a free consultation in which the specialist evaluates the jaw muscles and temporomandibular joint. After the area is sterilized, a topical anesthetic cream may be applied if necessary, and botox is injected into the masseter muscle using fine needles. The procedure takes approximately 5–10 minutes, and the patient can return to daily life immediately afterward; swelling or bruising is usually not observed.
The effects of masseter botox begin within 3–7 days, with full results becoming visible in 2–4 weeks, and typically last around 4–6 months. Patients who suffer from teeth clenching usually start to feel significant relief as early as the first week.
