It has been 5 days since my first botox treatment for TMJ/Masseter hypertrophy (20 units each side). After the first day I felt immediate reduction in clenching my molars, however as the days progressed to today, I've noticed I am clenching with my front teeth now (moving mandible a little forward and pressing bottom teeth to back of front teeth). Is this compensation going to minimize treatment effects of the botox I received and should I go back for more? if so, how much more?
