Jaw Slimming

Jaw slimming and tooth grinding are common treatments for those with overactive temporomandibular joint (TMJ) muscles. These muscles at the side of the jaw can exert excessive force while awake or asleep and result in a wide set jaw and excessive tooth grinding. Muscle relaxant treatment can successfully provide an improved silhouette by slimming the jaw line, and prevent tooth damage through excessive subconscious grinding.

Treating the jaw

Over developed jaw muscles (Masseter) can give the appearance of a large, full or square jaw by adding bulk to the lower face. Muscle relaxant treatments soften the bulky appearance of this muscle, resulting in a slimmer lower face, giving a softer more feminine appearance. These treatments subtly relax the bulky muscle of the lower face, creating a more slender appearance of the jaw and giving a less aggressive, less masculine look is achieved. Tooth grinding is treated through subtle relaxation of the masseter muscles, preventing bulky muscle development by reducing muscle use.

Who is suitable for this treatment?

Jaw slimming treatments are suitable for people who feel they would benefit from slimming a bulky or square jaw. This treatment is also used for those who are concerned about tooth damage from excessive grinding. Adults with overdeveloped jaw muscles from repetitive grinding or chewing can benefit from a consultation regarding jaw slimming treatments.
