What is Emface TMJ, and how does it help with TMJ dysfunction?
At Mid-Valley Dental Care in Northridge, California, we understand the challenges that come with TMJ dysfunction, which can affect not only your jaw but also your overall well-being. That’s why we offer Emface TMJ, an innovative and FDA-cleared treatment designed to address TMJ issues at their source. Our goal is to help you find relief from discomfort while restoring balance and relaxation to your facial muscles.
TMJ disorders can present as more than just jaw discomfort. Symptoms may include clicking or popping, headaches, earaches, and tension that radiates into the neck and shoulders, often making everyday activities like eating or speaking uncomfortable.
How does Emface TMJ work?
Emface TMJ uses a combination of HIFES™ muscle stimulation and radiofrequency (RF) to treat both the cause and symptoms of jaw tension.
- HIFES™ technology helps retrain overactive jaw muscles through controlled, targeted contractions. This supports healthier muscle function over time.
- RF energy gently warms the tissue, increases circulation, and helps relax tight, overworked muscles while supporting collagen and elastin production.
Together, these advanced technologies work synergistically to promote a strong and restorative effect on the muscles surrounding the temporomandibular joint. This combination helps create a sense of balance and relaxation, making everything feel more harmonious and at ease.
What is Emface’s role in treating TMJ disorder?
Emface TMJ is an FDA-cleared, non-invasive treatment designed to address TMJ dysfunction at its source. By targeting the muscles that control jaw movement, it helps reduce pain, tension, and dysfunction, while restoring a more balanced, relaxed state, which can lead to:
- Relieving jaw tension and muscle tightness
- Reducing clenching and teeth grinding
- Easing discomfort associated with TMJ dysfunction
- Improving jaw mobility and function
- Enhancing circulation and muscle recovery
- Promoting overall facial relaxation
