The TMJ Oral-Flex® Exercise System
_________
The
system consists of intraoral neuromuscular
re-education and biofeedback training device(s)
to help reduce muscular pain and deprogram
excessive muscle forces/jaw pain. This system
was originally conceived as a prosthetic
training aid for orofacial burn victims
with scarring and lip contracture.
|
| Facial-Flex®
was subsequently developed for speech
therapy and swallowing/ dysphagia disorders.
It has been successfully tested for
facial cosmetics to improve skin tone
and muscle tightening. |
|
|
Results of studies have been reported in the
Journals of Dermatology and Gerontology. Most
recently, the device has found applicability
in the dental/ TMD/TMJ rehabilitation field.
|
 |
A
wide range of muscles in the head, neck,
and jaw are impacted when using the
Facial-Flex® strengthening
system. Exercise stimulates improved
function and balance from the temporalis/temple
region, mouth/ masticatory and swallowing
musculature, to the throat and cervical/neck
structures. |
