What Is Therapeutic Masseter Treatment?
Therapeutic masseter treatment involves the medical use of prescription-only neuromodulators to reduce excessive activity in the masseter muscles, which are the primary muscles responsible for chewing and clenching.
In some individuals, overactivity of these muscles can contribute to jaw pain, tension, headaches, tooth wear, or teeth grinding.
This treatment is provided as a therapeutic intervention, not solely a cosmetic one, and is offered where clinically appropriate.
How Does Masseter Treatment Work?
The treatment works by temporarily reducing the strength and activity of the masseter muscles, helping to decrease involuntary clenching and muscle overuse.
Small, carefully placed injections are administered directly into the muscle following assessment of muscle bulk, symmetry, and function.
Response varies between individuals. The aim is to reduce excessive muscle activity, not to eliminate normal chewing or jaw movement.
