Most patients follow a series of 4–6 sessions, spaced about a week apart. Some notice relief after the first one or two treatments
EmFace addresses muscle function, while a nightguard protects teeth and reduces grinding. Often the two therapies are complementary rather than interchangeable.
EmFace is non-invasive and FDA-cleared for TMJ muscle treatment. Some patients may notice mild warmth or temporary muscle soreness, similar to after a workout.
Some improvement may be felt after the first session, with optimal muscle re-education and facial tone developing over the full treatment series.
Adults experiencing jaw pain, tension, clenching or grinding, reduced jaw mobility, or TMJ-related headaches can benefit. A consultation will determine if Emface is right for you.
