How to stop habit of clenching my jaw?

[Deleted member 66828]

consciously prevent your teeth from touching all day, hover them on top of each-other, only the front can lightly touch if needed.

do this for a few weeks you'll get used to it.

I had it too, makes your lower third look shorter + recedes your gums long term.

it can cause chronic headaches and unwanted masseter hypertrophy too.

I don't have to think about it anymore, after some time your jaw adjusts and it becomes uncomfortable.

it will likely also fix your lip seal if you've got issues with that by the way.

dont personally have that problem bc i have really full lips, im just worried about masseter and buccinator hypertrophy

btw any tips for buccinator atrophy? other than swallowing with tongue only?
