How many Botox units in masseter muscle if I only want 20% of my masseter strength/ability gone?

Asked By:MillE17 in Chicago, IL

I grind my teeth at night. Night guards don't work for me. I'm getting botox (or dysport) in my masseter muscle to help. How many units should I get in each side? As a percentage, I only want 20% of my masseter strength/ability gone. Also, should I get dysport, botox, or another type for this situation specifically?
