Jaw Clenching & Masseter Treatment

At Dr Fresh Clinic, every treatment begins with understanding you through a thorough consultation. We take time to discuss your goals, review your medical history, and assess your concerns before discussing treatment options. Our focus is on safe, thoughtful care that supports both your comfort and your long-term wellbeing. Consultations with Dr Niki include assessment of the masseter muscles and other muscles involved in jaw movement, and careful mapping of injection sites, discussing aftercare, as well as, potential side effects and downtime. 

What is our Jaw Treatment?

Our jaw treatment is a non-surgical approach that may help relieve jaw tension, reduce teeth clenching or grinding, and support facial balance. Our Jaw treatment may relax the bite muscle (masseter) and reduce muscle contraction.

Effects are temporary and generally last around 5–6 months with individual results varying. A consultation is required to discuss your concerns, to discuss potential side effects, risks downtime, aftercare and expectations.

What is the main function of the masseter muscle?
The masseter is one of the large masseter muscles at the angle of the jaw used for chewing, and strong masseter muscle activity may contribute to jawline contouring and facial slimming effects.

What Does Our Jaw Treatment Address?

Jaw treatment may help to manage:

  • Jaw pain or tightness caused by clenching or grinding
  • Headaches related to jaw muscle tension
  • Dental wear from persistent teeth grinding
  • Facial heaviness or widening linked to enlarged masseter muscles
