Serious I feel my left masseter working while chewing on the right side, is this normal

[true mtn]

I'm trying to fix my assymetrical masseters because my left masseter is a lot bigger than the right one, and when I try to chew on the right side I feel like only the left masseter is working, should I keep on doing this or is there anything wrong

I heavily doubt you will be able to fix your asymmetric jaw by chewing more. Masseter hypertrophy doesn't work.

Its not a jaw assynetry, it's just a muscle assymetry, and why wouldn't't it work, it worked for my left side

Your masseter muscles are pretty small which means they will max out in terms of motor unit recruitment from basic tasks like chewing your food. You won't solve anything by chewing more.

more volume will equal more growth, also giving it tougher stuff to chew on will directyl affect it, it's just like any other muscle, it just takes more time

It is not like any other muscle and I explained why.

But if you use that muscle a lot it will end up growing either way, it will just take more time and a lot of effort
