Masseter asymmetry explained: How chewing habits can subtly reshape your face
An everyday habit of chewing on one side of your face can lead to masseter asymmetry, affecting jawline appearance and potentially causing functional issues. This imbalance in the powerful masseter muscle, responsible for chewing, can strain the temporomandibular joint over time, increasing the risk of TMJ disorders. Encouraging balanced chewing and addressing underlying causes can help restore muscle equilibrium.
