In humans, the masseter is one of the four pairs of masticatory muscles. This is most noticeable when the teeth are ground. Chewing gum, grinding one’s teeth, or gnashing one’s teeth (bruxism) will induce this muscle to constantly work and expand. Teeth-grinding is a habit that many individuals engage in both during the day and at night without recognizing it, and if not treated, it can lead to difficult-to-treat illnesses such as headaches, jaw joint deterioration, tooth erosion, and so on.
