For appropriate patients, yes. EMFACE® Functional TMJ targets muscles involved in jaw function and is designed to help relieve pain associated with muscle spasms while supporting circulation and range of motion.Because jaw pain can have multiple causes, we recommend an evaluation before determining whether EMFACE® is appropriate for your symptoms.

If clenching or grinding has contributed to overworked, tense, or sore jaw muscles, EMFACE® Functional TMJ may be incorporated into your treatment plan to address the muscular component of those symptoms.However, clenching and grinding can have multiple contributing factors. We may also consider your sleep, airway, stress, bite, muscle function, and other findings when determining an appropriate approach.

EMFACE® Functional TMJ is designed to help maintain or increase range of motion and may be appropriate when muscular tightness or spasms are contributing to uncomfortable jaw movement.

Yes. Physical therapy may be beneficial when muscle tension, limited mobility, posture, weakness, or movement patterns are contributing to TMJ symptoms.Having a physical therapist within our practice allows us to evaluate the relationship between the jaw and the surrounding head, neck, shoulder, and musculoskeletal system when appropriate.

Clenching and grinding can have many possible contributing factors. When your symptoms occur alongside snoring, mouth breathing, restless sleep, waking unrefreshed, morning dry mouth, or other sleep-related concerns, we may recommend taking a closer look at your sleep and airway health.

You don't need to know before your appointment.Jaw pain and TMJ/TMD symptoms can have multiple contributing factors, which is why we begin by evaluating your symptoms and function rather than automatically recommending one treatment.We'll help determine whether EMFACE® Functional TMJ, physical therapy, airway-focused care, another treatment, or a combination of approaches makes sense for you.
