Botox to balance asymmetry in jaw/masseter caused by previously broken mandible/malocclusion? (photo)

June 3, 2017
Asked By:yuke14 in Honolulu, HI

My jaw was broken 5+ years ago and since then my occlusion has never been the same. Ive been noticing heavy wear from my teeth over the past year and I believe asymmetry in my masseter due to my offbite. I know it would be ideal to fix the real cause of asymmetry with orthognathic surgery but i can't afford it at the time. I kind of want a quick fix for the time being and wondering if botox is even worth it in my situation.
