Chewing involves the masseter muscles of the jaw as well as the temporalis muscle of the temples. If the former can be hypertrophied, the second should too. But the results I coul find of the latter dont look good to me...

has anyone got bigger temporalis muscles from chewing, maybe as a side effect of getting a bigger masseter?
My temples are narrow, or at least my zygos and jaw are too wide, and it looks like shit, making my forhead appear taller.

does your forhead have that weird shape now like in the pic I posted? Like a bump
it does look like a bump like that left picture but it's not as big yet. I think they're growing rn. is that a bad thing?

Interesting thats what I wanted to know.

I dont think its a bad thing as long as it is not obvious, and I dont think It is if your forehead isnt too round/feminine. And even so, I don't think it can be obvious from the front or if it is I don't think it looks bad ( still much better than narrow temples ) - for example the second pic looks good to me. And from the side you can just grow your hair more if it's a concern.

I read somewhere that hypertrophied masseter is correlated with clockwise maxilla rotation. I wouldn't overdo it.
 
yeah, but it only makes u look worse

Isn't CW maxilla rotation good for people with short faces/under developed lower thirds

Maybe for people with short faces, but I rarely see that in adults.

That’s cap. Wouldn’t bruxism victims be mega recessed as they legit be tensing their jaw throughout the entirety of the night?

Most of them are recessed like 95% of the population.


Ultrasonography was used to measure the cross-sectional area (CSA) of the masseter muscle and bite force was measured using pressure sensitive film.

The results showed that CSA-relaxed was positively correlated with upper anterior face height (UAFH)/total anterior face height (TAFH) and negatively with lower anterior face height (LAFH)/TAFH and LAFH (P < 0.05). CSA-clenched was correlated positively with SN-palatal, FH-palatal, UAFH/TAFH, and lower posterior face height (LPFH)/total posterior face height (TPFH) and negatively with LAFH/TAFH, LAFH, upper posterior face height (UPFH)/TPFH, and UPFH (P < 0.05). Bite force was positively correlated with LPFH/TPFH and negatively with UPFH/TPFH (P < 0.05). As the masseter became larger, the anterior maxillary region tended to shift downwards relative to the cranial base, whereas the posterior region tended to shift upwards. The decrease in LAFH/TAFH and increase in LPFH/TPFH as the size of the masseter muscle increases may be influenced not only by the inclination of the mandibular plane but also by the clockwise rotation of the maxilla.

Also, I didn't say not to chew. Just don't overdo it.

Yeah, like ‘95% of the population’ yet they tense their masseters constantly. Majority of the population don’t have bruxism/tense their masseters like that, with that in mind wouldn’t these bruxism victims be more recessed then the average person if that claim were true?

yes it gives you a light bulb head which is a bad trait

If I chew mastic gum I get a really big pump right up to the temples that gives a moon face look. It goes away pretty quick but it kinda puts me off that sort of super hard chewing.

anyway you don't want to overtrain your temporalis.

I never said they weren't more recessed. But it's unlikely, since recessed people don't tend to have bruxism in the first place.

Honestly I think it’s cap anyway unless your training your masseters intensely, for example 2-3 hours a day 6x a week or smth. If you were to train them like 30mins every other day I highly doubt that there will be any rotation of the maxilla/changes to bone
