Wide Jaw Treatment in Milton Keynes
Consultation-led support for a broader lower face linked to masseter muscle bulk, jaw tension or facial proportion concerns.
A wide or heavy-set jaw can be related to natural bone structure, teeth grinding or enlarged masseter muscles. In some patients, it is mainly a shape preference issue. In others, it is associated with clenching, tension or facial discomfort. At Shujo Aesthetics, we assess the lower face carefully before recommending treatment.
Understanding the Condition
What Is Wide Jaw?
A wide or heavy lower face is most commonly caused by masseter muscle enlargement — masseter hypertrophy. This can develop naturally due to genetics or bone structure, or may be worsened over time by habitual teeth grinding or jaw clenching. Enlarged masseters create a square, wider-set lower face. In others, the concern is accompanied by jaw tension, headaches or facial discomfort. Accurate assessment of all these factors is essential before any treatment is considered.
Clinically Treatable
Masseter hypertrophy causes a wider, heavier lower face and is often associated with jaw tension.
