Why Do Jaw Muscles Grow?

Like muscles, the jaw muscle does not grow with routine jaw movements, but it grows as a result of these muscles working with excessive force. Especially in people with problems with clenching and grinding teeth during sleep, we see these muscles as enlarged.

It usually increases during stressful periods. However, sometimes these problems can also occur in an unknown way.

Is the big jaw muscle harmful to health?

Jaw muscle growth has no harm to physical health. However, by enlarging the jaw muscles, it can visually make a person unhappy. Many people do not like this condition that protrudes from the sides of the chin or creates a square face image. Women like a more oval and thin face. Especially if there is unilateral muscle growth, there may also be an asymmetric muscle appearance.

It can also cause permanent trauma to the teeth, leading to wear of the upper surface of the tooth. In this case, it is useful to ask for the help of a dentist.

Is there a treatment for the large jaw muscle?

First of all, it is necessary to investigate the problems that may cause tooth clenching or grinding. In fact, it is not easy to diagnose, since these problems are mostly experienced during sleep.

If an underlying problem is not found, the first option in treatment is botox application. This process is called masseter botox. Just like other botox applications, it has a slight paralyzing effect aimed at temporarily reducing the activity of striated muscles, that is, relaxing muscle. Thus, the jaw muscles stop overworking and shrink over time to their normal form muscle.

How is masseter botox performed?

Masseter botox in Turkey is a procedure that ends in 10-15 minutes, similar to other botox applications. After the procedure, the person resumes his daily life. Mild side effects may occur. It is not an extremely painful procedure.
