Understanding TMJ

TMJ (temporomandibular joint disorder) affects the joint and muscles that control jaw movement. When these muscles become overworked or imbalanced, it can lead to ongoing discomfort, tension, and limited jaw function, which can significantly impact daily life.

In cases where TMJ symptoms are primarily muscular, EMFACE may be used as a supportive dental therapy.

How EMFACE Works for TMJ

EMFACE utilizes Ultra-Low Frequency HIFES™, synchronized with radiofrequency (RF), to gently stimulate and retrain the facial muscles involved in jaw movement. This helps relax overworked muscles, improve coordination, and restore healthy jaw function—without needles or surgery.

Clinically Proven Results

In a clinical evaluation of dental patients (ages 23-77) who received four 20-minute EMFACE® treatments:
