What is TMJ?
TMJ stands for temporomandibular joint, it is the joint that connects your jawbone to your skull. When people say they have TMJ they are referring to TMJ Disorder which usually involves pain of the jaw joint and surrounding muscles.
We are proud to use EMFACE technology.
EMFACE is a non-invasive treatment platform that combines synchronized radiofrequency (RF) energy with HIFES™ (high-intensity facial electrical stimulation) to simultaneously warm dermal tissue (supporting collagen) and stimulate facial muscles. This combination targets muscle tone and skin quality without needles or surgery.
How does TMJ help?
-
EMFACE’s electrical stimulation gently re-educates and relaxes hyperactive jaw muscles (masseter/temporalis), which can reduce clenching/grinding intensity for some patients.
-
The device has been cleared for treatment of TMJ dysfunction and associated muscle-spasm symptoms, and can aid in maintaining or improving mandibular range of motion.
-
EMFACE can be used alongside occlusal appliances (night guards), stress-management and dental corrections — it’s generally complementary rather than a guaranteed standalone cure for chronic bruxism.
What to expect
-
We assess bite, TMJ function, medical history and determine candidacy.
-
Many practices offer a protocol of multiple sessions (commonly 4 sessions spaced weekly, but personalised plans vary). Individual response varies; some patients feel improvement after 1–2 sessions, more durable results after completing the series.
-
Each session is typically ~20–30 minutes, comfortable, hands-free, with minimal downtime. You may feel warmth and mild muscle contractions.
-
No special recovery; avoid very hot activities for 24–48 hours if skin feels warm. Results are best maintained with the full series and follow-up as recommended.
-
If you experience the following issues, this treatment may be of benefit for you:
• People who wake up with jaw pain or stiffness
• Those who grind or clench during sleep or stress
• Patients with TMJ-related discomfort or clicking
• Individuals seeking non-invasive alternatives to Botox or other muscle-relaxing treatments.
FAQ
-
EMFACE can reduce muscle overactivity and relieve related symptoms for many patients, but it may not eliminate grinding caused primarily by stress, sleep disorders, or structural bite issues. We often combine EMFACE with night guards and habit-management for best results.
-
Most patients describe a warming sensation and muscle contractions; discomfort is usually mild.
-
Some improvement appears quickly, lasting results depend on completing the treatment series and whether maintenance boosters are used. Results and longevity vary by individual.
-
People with implanted electronic devices (pacemakers, defibrillators), certain implants near the area, active infections, or uncontrolled systemic disease may be ineligible. A full medical screening is required.
-
Yes. EMFACE is FDA-cleared and non-invasive. It’s safe for most adults — we’ll review your medical history before treatment.
-
EMFACE is non-invasive and generally well tolerated. Temporary side effects can include mild redness, warmth, or tenderness at the treatment site; serious complications are uncommon when used by trained providers. Always disclose your full medical history and implanted devices during consultation.
