TMJ
Next Generation Device FDA
Approved for
Temporomandibular Joint Disorders
TMJ Health (Farmington Hills, MI) has received FDA clearance for the TMJ NextGeneration
Device to alleviate
Temporomandibular Joint disorder (TMJD) pain. TMJD*affects the jaw joint, surrounding muscles, and nerves, leading to chronic pain and poor quality of life. According to the NIH, more than 35 million Americans suffer from TMJD, which includes symptoms such as*pain in the face, jaw or neck, jaw muscle stiffness, and sharp pain around the ears. TMJD has conventionally been treated with bite splints to reduce the amount of grinding of the teeth that causes the sharp pain. These splints can**t be worn while eating, are k**wn to affect speech,*and cause long term damage to the joints.
The TMJ NextGeneration
Device treats the*TM
Joint pain*in*the ear canal, which happens to be near the
Temporomandibular joint. The
Device consists of two hollow*ear canal inserts*that rest in the outer part of the ear canal and*allow full transmission of sound due to their hollow construct. The
Device is also easy to remove thanks*to the retraction posts that are built into it. *The
Device is discreet, **t **ticeable from the outside, and makes use of the dynamic change in the ear canal geometry*when the jaw is opened or closed through movements such as chewing and smiling.*The
Device is*20% larger in size compared to the ear canal when jaws are closed, and this change in*ear canal space applies light*pressure against the walls of the ear canal to*encourage*the patient to return to the open jaw*position while reducing the*inclination to clench the jaw. All TMJ
Next Generation devices are custom built to match the patient’s unique anatomy.
