The doctor I work for is going to inject my masseter for bruxism. This would be her first time doing this. She is a dentist. What is the needle length to use for the masseter being that it is a large muscle? I believe the needle would need to be longer but is 1" sufficient? The previous times I have had this done the surgeon injects in three locations on the muscle. Is this a necessary technique or can one put all the units in one location? I typically have 40u per side. Thanks in advance.
