Chin Botox injection

**chin botox injection**; The muscles of the jaw (muscle masseter), which enable us to chew the food we eat, may become overworked and enlarged due to situations such as clenching the teeth, jaw joint diseases, and eating hard foods. Masseter hypertrophy (jaw muscle enlargement), which has negative consequences both functionally and aesthetically, can affect our daily life as pain or deformity. The use of Botox Master, which is also called Chin Botox, limits the excessive activity of this muscle and eliminates the asymmetric appearance observed on the face and prevents the occurrence of problems such as clenching or grinding of teeth. People can resume their daily lives immediately after Chin Botox, which is not a surgical procedure. The masseter muscle is a relatively large muscle that stretches from the upper jaw to the lower jaw. Visible growth of this muscle due to excessive activity is called "master hypertrophy". Maxillary hypertrophy can be caused by clenching and grinding of the teeth, or it can also be seen in people who frequently eat hard foods and chew gum. Botox Master (Chin Botox) is a method that is used to reduce the increase in jaw muscle activity using botulinum toxin and ultimately prevent muscle contraction.

In what cases is Chin Botox used?

Botox injection to the jaw, also known as chin botox, is applied to eliminate the asymmetries seen in the lower part of the face as a result of the overactivity of the masticatory muscle. Grinding teeth, a condition characterized by clenching or grinding of the teeth during the day or night, can lead to various problems such as tooth wear, periodontal lesions, temporomandibular joint disorders and muscle pain. In addition to occlusal splints, medications, and behavioral approaches, Chin Botox can also be applied to patients who clench their teeth.
