The masseter is used to close the mouth and clench the jaw, opening would have no effect on the botox or the masseter size. Best, Dr. Emer.
Keeping your mouth open will have no effect on your masseter muscles. You can try to avoid activities like chewing gum to help maximize your results.
The answer is absolutely not. You have four primary muscles that move your jaw.

Your masseters will not be affected by opening your mouth widely for dental cleaning. Remember that Botox only lasts about six months.
No, the masseter muscles are activated in closing the mouth such as in chewing, so opening should not affect their size. Prolonged activation such as in chewing gum can result in masseter hypertrophy so that should be minimized to avoid increasing the size of the muscle.
Have you contacted your doctor? I always instruct all my patients to call us if after a week they are not seeing the expected response. we have them come back in to be seen. If they need additional Botox they are only charged for the units they receive.
