Can Botox Help Restore Original Face Shape for People with a Squarish Jawline Due to Bruxism?

Absolutely! Botox can be a great solution for people with a squarish jawline due to bruxism, or teeth grinding. Bruxism is a condition where a person grinds or clenches their teeth, often during sleep, which can cause the masseter muscles in the jaw to become overdeveloped and create a more square-shaped jawline.

Botox is a muscle relaxant that can be used to reduce the size of the masseter muscles and reshape the jawline. The treatment involves injecting small amounts of Botox into the masseter muscles, which causes them to weaken and shrink over time. The result is a softer, more oval-shaped jawline that looks more natural and balanced.

The treatment is quick and relatively painless, with most patients experiencing only mild discomfort during the injection process. Results typically start to appear within a few days to a week after treatment, with full results visible within a few weeks. The effects of Botox typically last for 3-6 months, after which time the treatment can be repeated if desired.

Botox for jawline reshaping is becoming increasingly popular, as more people seek non-surgical solutions for facial contouring. In addition to its cosmetic benefits, Botox for bruxism can also help alleviate symptoms such as jaw pain, headaches, and teeth grinding.

It's important to note that Botox for jawline reshaping should only be performed by a qualified and experienced provider. As a board-certified dermatologist with over 15 years of experience in cosmetic dermatology, I have extensive experience using Botox for a variety of cosmetic and medical purposes, including jawline reshaping for bruxism.

If you're interested in exploring Botox as a solution for your squarish jawline, I encourage you to schedule a consultation with a qualified provider to discuss your options and determine if Botox is right for you.
