Teeth grinding (bruxism) is the name given to the problem that causes physical pain in the jaw, facial bones or head, and even migraine, as well as serious and permanent dental problems, as a result of unconsciously grinding the teeth while asleep or awake.

Botox is also used to prevent this problem. With botox applied directly to the masseter muscle (the big muscle that moves the jaw), the pressure power of the muscle is reduced and involuntary clenching or grinding stops. With the relaxation of the muscles, damage to the teeth or problems that may occur due to clenching are also prevented.

Masseter botox can also be used in the treatment of deformities in the lower part of the face. A more proportional face shape is obtained by reducing the square face shape, which causes a masculine and rigid appearance on the face. If the masseter muscle is too large, it can cause discomfort not only aesthetically but also physically. For this reason, in some cases, this process is also applied to provide treatment in terms of both form and function. The duration of effect varies between 4-6 months.
