Chiro: I would see a chiropractor for several months of jaw treatments. Possibly a physical therapist or even speech therapist may be able to help. Have you seen a maxillofacial surgeon? There may be a corrective surgical option.

Masseter: Might be masseter muscle. If you clench and grind more on one side, this will make the muscle on this side bigger. If so, Botox injections in the muscle with make it smaller.

Masseter hypertrophy: Masseteric hypertrophy is a relatively uncommon, condition. Non-surgical modalities of treatment include tranquilizers or muscle relaxants, cognitive behavioral therapy and injection of very small doses of Botox A. See an orofacial pain specialist for consultation. They are the expert in this field. Take care.
