What is the Normal Dose of Botox for Bruxism?

dswilliams
I just got 20 units in each masseter and 10 units in each temporallis muscle. My first dose was 2.5 months ago, which was only 10 units in each masseter, and it did not improve my symptoms. I am just nervous of this does maybe being too much and then having some negative side effects like, jaw hanging open, can't chew, trouble swallowing, etc. In your experience, has this dose ever caused this?
