Jaw Slimming Teeth Grinding Treatment in Manchester Cheshire
MASSETER BOTOX TREATMENT IN ALTRINCHAM & HALE CHESHIRE & MANCHESTER
From £400
Botox treatments to the jaw muscles (masseters) are used to reduce the nerve supply to the muscle and make them less active. This treatment is available in my Altrincham Clinic, Cheshire and treats teeth grinding, jaw clenching (bruxism) and associated migraines.
The masseter muscle is one of the 4 muscles responsible for chewing. Interestingly, this muscle is the strongest muscle in the body relative to its size, allowing really high forces to produce a powerful bite!

HOW CAN MASSETER BOTOX HELP?
Unfortunately, overdeveloped masseters can both cause and develop from excessive teeth grinding and jaw-clenching, which may be caused by stress. This can damage the teeth over time but can also lead to bruxism and migraines which can be debilitating.
Cosmetically, bulky massesters can give a masculine appearance, which some people might dislike.
With repeated treatments over time this leads to slimming-down of the jaw muscles which produces a more feminine jawline.

Not immediately!

Book a consultation to see what other treatments may be suitable.
-
Patient safety is my number one priority when treating.
Botox is well-studied, safe and has a very low risk of complications and side effects when administered by a trained medical professional.
The NHS website is a fantastic resource regarding the safety of cosmetic procedures including botox.
Botox treatments are not suitable for patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding, allergic to botulinum toxin, taking certain antibiotics or who have certain neurological disorders such as myasthenia gravis.
-
Side effects are a rare (but not impossible) result of treatment. As a trained medical professional, I am well positioned to minimise these risks.
Side-effects include:
Temporary difficulty chewing
Headaches and flu-like symptoms
Pain, swelling and potential bruising to the area of the injection
