TMJ Treatment
in Trophy Club TX
TMJ treatment using FDA-cleared M-Face technology offers a modern, non-invasive approach to relieving jaw pain, improving muscle function, and enhancing overall facial balance and comfort.
Temporomandibular joint pain affects millions of Americans, creating daily challenges like difficulty chewing, persistent headaches, and facial discomfort that disrupts work, meals, and sleep. Traditional TMJ treatments often involve invasive procedures, medications with side effects, or uncomfortable oral appliances that offer temporary relief at best.
At Complete Dentistry in Trophy Club, TX, Dr. David Crumpton and Dr. Alysa Sadkin now offer an FDA-cleared, non-invasive alternative using advanced Emface technology. This innovative approach delivers effective TMJ relief through comfortable 20-minute sessions, with no needles, chemicals, or downtime. Our team combines nearly three decades of comprehensive general dentistry expertise with cutting-edge technology to help you find lasting comfort.
Understanding TMJ Disorders
The temporomandibular joint connects your jawbone to your skull, functioning like a sliding hinge on each side of your jaw. When this joint becomes inflamed or stressed, it creates a cascade of uncomfortable symptoms. The condition affects the muscles and ligaments surrounding the joint, leading to pain that extends beyond just your jaw.
Common symptoms include jaw clicking or popping when opening or closing your mouth, limited range of motion when eating or speaking, persistent headaches or earaches, and facial tenderness. Some people also experience neck stiffness or difficulty maintaining proper bite alignment. These symptoms can develop gradually or appear suddenly after an injury, teeth grinding, or prolonged jaw clenching.
How Emface Technology Works
Emface represents a breakthrough in TMJ therapy, delivering targeted treatment directly to your temporomandibular joint via electromagnetic patches. The technology operates at an extremely low frequency of 0.067 MHz, creating gentle vibrations that penetrate deep into muscle tissue. Combined with therapeutic warmth, this approach helps relax tense jaw muscles and reduce inflammation without any discomfort.
During treatment, we place specialized patches over your TMJ joint area. A grounding patch on the back of your neck helps direct the electromagnetic energy precisely where you need it. The warmth and low-frequency vibrations work together to release muscle tension, similar to heat therapy, but with the added benefit of electromagnetic stimulation that reaches deeper tissue layers. The FDA clearance for this technology confirms its safety and effectiveness for TMJ treatment.
What to Expect During Your Treatment Sessions
Your TMJ relief journey begins with a comprehensive evaluation to confirm you’re a good candidate for Emface therapy. We assess your symptoms, jaw function, and treatment history to create a personalized care plan. Most patients benefit from a series of four sessions, scheduled one week apart for optimal results.
Each treatment session lasts just 20 minutes. You’ll relax in our comfortable, spa-like treatment room, with calming music, while the electromagnetic patches do their work. Many patients describe the experience as deeply relaxing. You’ll feel gentle warmth but no pain, vibration, or discomfort during the session. There’s absolutely no recovery time needed. You can drive yourself to and from appointments, return to work immediately, and resume all normal activities.
Key Benefits of Non-Invasive TMJ Treatment
This approach offers distinct advantages over conventional TMJ therapies for patients seeking comfortable, effective relief. Understanding what makes Emface different helps you make an informed decision about your care:
- No surgical intervention: Avoid the risks, costs, and recovery time associated with TMJ surgery while still achieving meaningful pain relief.
- Chemical-free treatment: Experience relief without medications, injections, or topical products that may cause side effects or allergic reactions.
- Immediate return to activities: Continue your normal routine right after each 20-minute session with no downtime or activity restrictions.
- FDA-cleared technology: Trust in a treatment approach that has undergone rigorous testing and received clearance for TMJ disorder management.
- Comfortable spa-like experience: Relax during treatment in a calming environment designed to reduce stress and promote healing.
Results typically develop progressively as you complete your treatment series. Many patients report significant improvement in jaw mobility, reduced headache frequency, and decreased facial pain intensity after their four-session protocol.
Complementary Treatments for Comprehensive Care
While Emface provides effective TMJ relief on its own, we often recommend combining it with other supportive therapies for optimal results. Custom nightguards protect your teeth from grinding damage and reduce strain on your temporomandibular joint during sleep. We can also evaluate your bite alignment to identify any dental factors contributing to your TMJ symptoms.
Some patients benefit from routine cleanings that include jaw muscle evaluation, helping us monitor your progress and adjust treatment as needed. For patients considering cosmetic dentistry procedures like veneers or orthodontics, addressing TMJ issues first ensures better treatment outcomes and greater comfort. Our comprehensive approach considers how various aspects of your oral health interact and influence one another.
Is Emface TMJ Treatment Right for You?
This innovative therapy works well for many TMJ patients, particularly those who want to avoid invasive procedures or haven't found relief through traditional approaches. Good candidates typically experience muscle-related TMJ symptoms rather than structural joint problems. During your consultation, we evaluate your specific situation to determine if Emface fits your needs.
The treatment is not suitable for everyone. We'll discuss your complete medical history, current medications, and any implanted medical devices to ensure safety. Your investment in TMJ therapy includes the complete series of four sessions, along with our thorough evaluation and ongoing support. We discuss all costs transparently during your consultation, and our team helps you understand insurance coverage options or flexible payment plans through Cherry financing.
