The difference between an enlarged bite and a normal bite includes several aspects such as symptoms and signs, and imaging tests.
1. Symptoms and signs: compared with normal tissues, hypertrophy of the biting muscle can be manifested as widening of the lower part of the face, and there may be asymmetry of the left and right jaws, hypertrophy of the angle of the lower jaw, and restriction of mouth opening.
2. Imaging: Compared with normal tissues, MRI examination of biting muscle hypertrophy shows tissue hyperplasia and hypertrophy, but there is no organic lesion; CT examination shows that there is a big difference in the thickness of biting muscle on both sides.
Bite muscle hypertrophy usually does not affect health, and can be avoided by avoiding unilateral chewing, avoiding too hard food, etc. If there is a need for cosmetic treatment, it is recommended to go to a professional medical institution.
