TMJ treatment helps relieve jaw tension, clenching, headaches, and facial discomfort by addressing one of the most common causes of symptoms: muscle overactivity. At Burbank Dental and Sleep, we primarily use EMFACE to relax overactive facial and jaw muscles, with custom night guards serving as a protective complement to help prevent further tooth damage during sleep.
TMJ treatment is designed to reduce discomfort in the jaw joint and surrounding muscles. In many patients, symptoms such as jaw pain, clenching, tension headaches, facial soreness, and limited comfort when chewing are related to muscle overactivity, stress, grinding, or bite misalignment.
EMFACE is an excellent non-invasive option for managing TMJ-related muscle tension because it helps relax overactive facial and jaw muscles while improving muscle balance in the lower face. For patients who grind or clench at night, a custom night guard may also be recommended to protect the teeth, reduce overnight pressure on the jaw joint, and help prevent further enamel wear while symptoms are being treated.
TMJ discomfort is often linked to overactive jaw muscles, stress, and clenching habits, which is why treatments like EMFACE and custom night guards can work together to relieve symptoms and protect your teeth.
TMJ treatment may be ideal for patients dealing with jaw discomfort, clenching, facial tension, or tooth wear related to grinding.
During your visit at Burbank Dental and Sleep, we’ll evaluate your symptoms, jaw function, and bite concerns to determine whether EMFACE, a custom night guard, or a combination of both is the best approach for you.
