Botox to the masseter muscle should not cause any problems with your braces. Although, I recommend you discuss your concerns with the orthodontist to ensure it is a good idea. All the Best.

Botox to the masseter muscle can be great for slimming the jawline in the properly selected patient. It's use poses no risk to the effectiveness of braces.

Donald B. Yoo, MD, FACS · Answer

Botox for masseter reduction will not have any effect on your occlusion (bite) and thus will not create any risks when getting braces.

David A. F. Ellis, MD · Answer

Having injected many masseters with Botox especially in the Asian culture, there should be problem with the braces. Why are you having braces? I have dentists who send me patients to have their Masseter muscles injected because of TMJ.

Parker A. Velargo, MD, FACS · Answer

Botox used to treat the maseter muscles should not significantly affect your orthodontic plan or bite.  You should inform your orthodontist; however, I don't think you'll find this to be an issue.  I wish you well!
