Can Botox Stop Lip Biting?

Chel C
I have been biting my lower lip on the inside left for over 2 years causing a callous to form which only makes me bite more. The constant knawing is embarrassing. I was wondering if getting a botox injection would at all help stop the biting. Maybe if I couldn't move my lip I wouldn't be able to bite and the callous could heal, therefore having nothing to bite on. Thinking if the top lip could not move, it would make it difficult to actually bite down on the bottom lip. Your thoughts.
