How EMFACE Treats TMJ Dysfunction
EMFACE targets every layer from muscle to skin using two complementary technologies:
-
Radiofrequency gently elevates tissue temperature to relieve symptoms associated with muscle spasms and improve local circulation
-
HIFES® stimulation activates and retrains the jaw muscles to help ease TMJ-related pain and support or increase jaw range of motion
By synchronizing these technologies, EMFACE provides a comfortable, hands-free therapy that supports everyday jaw comfort and function.
Who Is a Candidate for EMFACE TMJ Relief?
EMFACE® Functional TMJ may be right for you if you experience:
-
Jaw pain or discomfort
-
Facial muscle tension or tightness
-
Muscle spasms related to TMJ dysfunction
-
Trouble chewing
-
Difficulty opening your mouth
Because many TMJ concerns are connected to jaw alignment, clenching, and bite-related stress, EMFACE can be an effective complement to traditional dental TMJ treatments such as night guards.

-
20-minute, non-invasive sessions
-
Typically performed as a series of four treatments, spaced one week apart

Supporting Facial Balance & Jawline Appearance
EMFACE® Aesthetic Benefits
While EMFACE® is FDA-cleared to treat TMJ dysfunction and associated pain, many patients also appreciate its aesthetic benefits. By strengthening the jaw muscles, EMFACE® helps support improved facial balance and a more defined jawline.
A common concern among patients in Plantation, FL is the appearance of a double chin, which is often influenced by muscle laxity and jaw structure, not just weight. EMFACE® activates the muscles beneath the chin while supporting skin firmness, all without surgery or recovery time.

TMJ JAW PAIN IS PAINFUL, AND WE CAN HELP
What Is TMJ?
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) connects the lower jaw to the temporal bone and is located on the sides at the base of the skull. This complex joint allows both the sideways and up and down motions that are needed in order to talk or to chew. When there is a problem in this area, it can affect the joint and the muscles around it, causing varying degrees of pain, or tooth damage, in addition to restricting movement of the jaw.
There are numerous factors that are thought to contribute to TMJ disorder including grinding or clenching teeth, injury, arthritis, certain autoimmune diseases, infection, hormones, heredity, or ongoing strain to the area. The symptoms may go away after a period of time, or they can be persistent or recurrent.
How can I tell if I have TMJ?
Indications for TMJ: Pain, Grinding, Popping or Clicking Sounds When Moving the Jaw, Headaches, Neck, Back or Ear Pain Aches
Who Needs TMJ Treatment?
When you are suffering from TMJ symptoms, it's important to see a dentist for diagnosis and current & preventative treatment advice, as some TMJ symptoms can severely affect the quality of your life. A dentist can offer many treatment solutions to provide relief- such as occlusal or night guards and/or botox injections to the localized muscles.
