If your jaw aches, clicks, or feels tight, or you catch yourself clenching, that tension usually traces back to overworked jaw muscles. At LeBlanc, Dr. Kulic uses EMFACE® as one option for easing that muscle tension, as part of a dentist-guided plan for TMJ care, not as a standalone cosmetic session.
It’s worth being clear on one thing: the same device is used two very different ways. This page is about calming the jaw muscles behind TMJ discomfort and clenching, guided by a dentist who understands your bite. If you’re actually here for the facial-toning, wrinkle-smoothing side of EMFACE®, head to our aesthetic EMFACE® page instead.
The Technology Behind EMFACE® for TMJ
EMFACE® is FDA-cleared to treat TMJ dysfunction and associated pain, relieve symptoms of muscle spasms, and help maintain or increase jaw range of motion. By directly targeting the jaw muscles with synchronized radiofrequency and HIFES® stimulation, EMFACE® provides a comfortable, hands-free therapy that supports everyday comfort and mobility — without surgery or downtime. Radiofrequency elevates tissue temperature to relieve symptoms associated with muscle spasms and to improve local circulation. HIFES® stimulation activates the jaw muscles, helping to treat TMJ dysfunction, ease associated pain, and support or increase the range of motion.
How EMFACE® Helps TMJ Disorders
Emface for TMJ uses advanced dual-technology to target the root cause of jaw pain and tension. Ultra-low frequency HIFES™ works to gently relax overactive jaw muscles, while synchronized monopolar radiofrequency (RF) delivers controlled heat to enhance blood flow and support tissue recovery. Together, these technologies help reduce muscle tension, improve function, and provide effective, non-invasive TMJ symptom relief.
TMJ symptoms are often caused by overactive, tight, or imbalanced facial muscles. Emface uses advanced HIFES™ (High-Intensity Facial Electromagnetic Stimulation) technology to deliver controlled muscle contractions that help:
- Relax overworked jaw and facial muscles
- Improve muscle balance and coordination
- Reduce jaw tension and stiffness
- Alleviate symptoms like pain, tightness, and fatigue
- Support better overall jaw function
At the same time, radiofrequency (RF) energy helps improve circulation and tissue quality in the treated area.
