Botox for jaw clenching/slimming - What kind of doctor should I see and how long before I notice a difference?

Caroline899
I've been grinding my teeth for years, to the point where I have cracked fillings even with a mouth guard. I also have noticed my jaw is starting to look more masculine which I believe is related to the grinding. My main questions are: What type of Dr do I see for the botox, any recommendations in Connecticut? Does this actually help with grinding or is it mainly cosmetic? And, how long does it take before noticing a slimmer face/grinding to subside? Thank you in advance!
