EmFace TMJ

TMJ Treatment in Hilton Head & Bluffton

Relief You Can Feel

Jaw pain, tension headaches, or that sore feeling when you wake up can make even simple things like eating or smiling uncomfortable.

For many people, these are signs of teeth grinding or TMJ strain that happen mostly at night without realizing it.

At Ocean Aesthetics & Wellness, we understand how frustrating that can be. Our custom TMJ mouth guards are designed to protect your teeth, relax your jaw muscles, and help you wake up feeling refreshed and pain-free again.

How it Works

Radiofrequency Energy

RF energy gently raises tissue temperature to relax muscle spasm, improve local circulation, and promote a healthier tissue environment.

HIFES™

Electrical stimulation delivers precise electrical pulses to the masseter, temporalis and other facial muscles to strengthen, rebalance, and re-educate muscle function around the TMJ

The Path for Lasting Relief

EmFace TMJ therapy targets the root causes of jaw tension by relaxing tight, overworked muscles and restoring natural balance.

The treatment loosens contracted jaw and facial muscles, easing the tension that often radiates into the temples and face. By reducing the muscular drive behind clenching and grinding, EmFace helps relieve daily discomfort, improve jaw mobility, and promote smoother, more balanced movement.

As an added benefit, it rebalances and tones facial muscles, enhancing symmetry, definition, and overall facial harmony.

Results

With EmFace TMJ therapy, patients often notice a significant reduction in jaw pain and muscle tension, improved range of motion, and decreased clenching or teeth grinding.

Many also experience relief from TMJ-related headaches and facial pressure, while the re-education and strengthening of the jaw and facial muscles helps improve symmetry, tone, and definition in the lower face.

Some improvements can be felt after just one or two sessions, with optimal results developing over a series of 4–6 treatments, providing lasting comfort and a more balanced, harmonious appearance.
