Jaw Clenching & TMJ Relief in Plano, TX
Waking up with a sore jaw, headaches at your temples, or noticing your jawline getting squarer? That is often the masseter muscle — the main muscle used for chewing — working overtime from clenching or grinding. A simple injectable treatment can relax it.
Placed by Samah Haroof, a certified Master Injector. Serving Plano, Frisco, McKinney and North Dallas.
Signs the masseter is the culprit
Jaw or ear-area soreness — especially first thing in the morning, from overnight grinding.
Tension headaches at the temples — a dull, tight ache that doesn’t respond well to typical headache remedies.
A visibly squarer or wider lower jaw — from the muscle enlarging over years of clenching.
Worn or sensitive teeth — a sign your dentist may have already flagged.
Jaw popping, clicking, or fatigue — while chewing or talking.
This treatment addresses muscle tension and its cosmetic effects. If you have diagnosed TMJ disorder or dental pain, we recommend working with your dentist or an oral health specialist alongside this treatment, and we’re glad to coordinate with them.
Botulinum toxin relaxes the muscle doing the clenching
Botox or Letybo, injected directly into the masseter muscle, gradually relaxes it. A weaker, more relaxed muscle clenches with less force — which is what eases the morning soreness and headaches — and over repeated treatments, a muscle that is used less tends to shrink, which is what slims and softens a square jawline.
This is one of the more common reasons clients come to see us, for both the symptom relief and the jawline-slimming effect.

Consultations are free. CareCredit financing is available.
Relief builds over one to two weeks
The appointment takes about twenty minutes. Many clients notice less jaw tension and fewer headaches within one to two weeks, with the jawline-slimming effect becoming noticeable after repeated treatments over a few months.
Results for symptom relief and slimming both typically last three to four months, often longer with repeated treatment as the muscle adapts.
Afterwards: stay upright for four hours, avoid vigorous chewing (tough or chewy foods) for the first day or two, and don’t massage the treated area.
Jaw clenching & masseter treatment FAQs
Will this fix my TMJ?
It can meaningfully ease clenching-related tension and pain, but TMJ disorder is a joint condition best co-managed with your dentist or an oral health specialist. We’re happy to coordinate care.
Will my jaw look weaker instead of just slimmer?
Conservative dosing is the goal — a softened, more V-shaped jawline, not a loss of definition. We review results and adjust future sessions together.
How long until I feel relief?
Many clients notice less tension within one to two weeks.
How long until my jawline looks slimmer?
The muscle-slimming effect builds with repeated treatment, usually becoming noticeable after two or three sessions.
How much does masseter treatment cost in Plano?
Priced per unit — $12 for Botox, $11 for Letybo — with most treatments using 40–60 units total.
