I have a really strong jaw and have always had issues with clenching. This gave me really strong masseter muscles and a more square shaped face. I have been getting disport in my jaw for over a year now. I get about 60 units on each side and have had that done about 6 times.

I’ve tried 2 experienced providers and I’m just confused.
