Botox for Teeth grinding (Bruxism)

Botox Jaw Reduction Antigua | Regents Park Aesthetics

Botox is well known for wrinkle reduction but is also an excellent treatment for jaw reduction and teeth-grinding (Bruxism).

Botox works subtly by weakening the masseter jaw muscle to give a softer jaw angle. Botox jaw reduction treatment inhibits the action of the masseter jaw muscle which leads to reduction in size of the muscle.

Results are noticeable after two weeks of the treatment with continuing slimming of the jaw for up to 5 months. Although Botox jaw reduction gives good results, it will not bring about any radical changes in your appearance but rather a soft and subtle change in the jaw, giving you a slimmer appearance.

Some causes of square jaw due to enlarged Masseter Muscle

  • Bruxism or teeth clenching: Some people have a habit of clenching their jaw and grinding their teeth even in sleep. This lead towards expansion of masseter muscle, making the jaw appear wide and square.
  • Ethnicity: Most of the men and women of Asian descend have square jaws which add to the masculine appearance. They want to achieve soft and delicate appearance therefore they undergo Botox jaw reduction treatment.
