GRINDING OF TEETH (MASSETER BOTOX)
The masseter is one of the four pairs of masticatory muscles in humans. Particularly becomes evident when the teeth are ground. Chewing gum, grinding the teeth, gnashing the teeth (bruxism) will cause this muscle to work and grow continuously. Teeth-grinding is an action that people usually do both day and night without realizing, and if it is not treated, it can result in difficult-to-treat conditions such as headache, jaw joint destruction, and tooth erosion, etc.
Prevention of teeth-grinding is essentially psychological, but it is often not possible. The enlargement of the masseter muscle for various reasons makes the lower face appear larger than it is. This can cause a rude looking for a woman. Today, an inverted triangle face is considered attractive for women. It is possible to surgically reduce the masseter muscle.
However, this is a painful procedure and the surgery has several risks. Another way to reduce the masseter muscle is Botox. With the Botox treatment that is applied to the masseter muscle, the muscle reduces, the desired slimness is gained for the face, and the complaints of teeth-grinding are also significantly reduced.

During Grinding of Teeth (Masseter Botox)

After Grinding of Teeth (Masseter Botox
