Muscles Involved and Action
The masseter muscle is a thick, rectangular muscle of mastication, and it’s one of the strongest muscles in the body. It has two parts, superficial and deep, which play a crucial role in closing the jaw by elevating the mandible. Hypertrophy of the masseter muscle can lead to an undesired square-shaped facial appearance.
