Ever since starting invisalign, I haven't been grinding my teeth as much which has significantly atrophied my previous extremely hypertrophied masseters which made my face look extremely bloated

I just saw a pic from January compared to now and holy shit I look so much better

Thought I would need masseter botox but looks like I can avoid that now :cool:

Its okay, also is tmj splint better than invisalign, for problems like, chewing big masseters etc etc, if yes can you explain why ?

but masseteric hypertrophy for long period of time will lenghten the ramus, but yeah it is a trade off with the chipmunk looks

Is Invisalign basically a mouth guard ?

How long have u been using the splint for and have u seen results yet

yeah it acts as one + with how my teeth are shifting i've currently got a posterior open bite preventing my molars from clenching as much as they could before

but after treatment and adjustments i'll get a night guard anyway to further prevent grinding

im on day 3 today, no i dont any changes in masseters sizes it will take up to 3-2weeks, the only thing that improved atm is when i want to eat something it’s dosent hurt

but make sure its one of the ones i posted above otherwise u may get posterior open bite if u clench / grind while u sleep
I already have a deep overbite aka deep bite +stress and anxiety.

Does it still matter?

I’m already going to get braces probably for it before a potential jaw surgery, so i can’t wear a invisilagin because of braces.

wont braces just recess u to "fix" the overbite by pulling ur maxilla back ?

how old r u ?

u can get mandible moved forward w/ invisalign if young enough
 
I stopped perma-jutting and they reduced 50% in size

Only upper maxilla matters


If lower maxilla more protruding than upper maxilla it will amles you looks like a chimp or recessed
