Jaw Slimming & Teeth Grinding Injections

Teeth grinding and jaw slimming injections (masseter muscle)

Non-surgical procedures can help slim the face and manage jawline pain by injecting anti-wrinkle substances.

What is the definition of bruxism?

Teeth grinding and excessive clenching of the jaw are the symptoms of bruxism. During sleep, bruxism may cause blunting of teeth, TMJ issues, headaches, jaw muscles (masseter) enlargement, and a chiseled appearance of the face. A square jaw might not be desirable in females, especially. It may be caused by bruxism or might be genetically determined.

Hypertrophy of the masseter muscle can be treated with anti-wrinkle injections or muscle relaxing injections. Those seeking to achieve facial slimming or jawline slimming often seek out this procedure. This procedure can help convert a square jawline into an ‘upside down triangle’ shape, which is a more youthful and attractive facial shape.

Is there a non-surgical way to slim my jawline?

The bulk of the masseter muscles (bulk) can be reduced by injecting anti-wrinkle injections or muscle relaxants into the main jaw muscles. The symptoms of bruxism are also reduced. The procedure has virtually no downtime, and it begins to work in one week and lasts for about four to eight months.

In most cases, 50-80 units of anti-wrinkle injections are required in this area per side. Those with hypertrophy or enlargement of the masseter muscle often find the result aesthetically pleasing. Furthermore, there is frequently a significant symptomatic relief of jaw pain, headaches, clenching, and jaw tension.

Temporalis muscles, which are located over the temples and are palpable when the jaw is clenched, can be injected to reduce wrinkles or injected with muscle relaxants. The temporalis and masseter muscles work together to chew and close the jaw. Because the temporalis muscle is rarely treated for cosmetic purposes, muscle relaxants may be used to reduce headaches resulting from excessive muscle tension.
