Advanced TMJ & Bruxism Relief Using Myotronics Technology in Cumming, Lawrenceville, and Dawsonville, GA
At Bright Smiles Dentistry and Orthodontics, we understand how painful and disruptive TMJ disorders and bruxism can be. That’s why we use advanced technology by Myotronics to diagnose and treat these conditions with unmatched precision and comfort. Whether you’re experiencing chronic jaw pain, frequent headaches, teeth grinding, or limited jaw movement, our specialized tools help us get to the root of the problem and design an effective, personalized treatment plan.
Our Myotronics suite includes three core systems:
K7x Evaluation System: Precision Diagnosis for TMJ Disorders
The K7x Evaluation System is a game-changer in diagnosing jaw-related issues. It tracks jaw movement in 3D, measures muscle activity through surface electromyography (sEMG), and captures sounds from the temporomandibular joints (TMJs). This comprehensive data allows our team to identify the exact muscles or jaw movements causing your pain or discomfort.
Patient Benefits:
-
Accurately identify the cause of TMJ pain, clicking, or popping
-
Tailor your treatment using objective data rather than guesswork
-
Non-invasive evaluation for jaw function and joint health
With better diagnostics, we create more effective and lasting solutions for your pain.
J5 Dental TENS Unit: In-Office Muscle Relaxation & Pain Relief
The J5 Dental TENS Unit uses Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) to relax the jaw and facial muscles before treatment. This device helps relieve muscle spasms, increases blood circulation, and improves jaw mobility.
How This Helps You:
-
Reduces jaw tension and pain during your appointment
-
Prepares your muscles for more accurate bite registrations
-
Supports treatment of TMJ pain and associated muscle tightness
It’s like a therapeutic massage for your jaw muscles, helping us get clearer bite data and giving you a more comfortable experience.
BNS-40 Home TENS Unit: Relief You Can Take Home
We understand that TMJ discomfort doesn’t just stop when you leave the office. The BNS-40 Home Unit extends the benefits of our in-office treatment to your daily life. This portable TENS device is easy to use and helps maintain progress between visits.
Designed for You:
-
Alleviates pain and tension at home or on the go
-
Enhances blood circulation to reduce inflammation
-
Helps maintain jaw alignment and muscle relaxation
-
Improves range of motion for more natural, pain-free movement
For patients dealing with chronic symptoms, the BNS-40 is a simple and effective way to stay on top of your treatment plan and feel better every day.
Why Technology Matters in Treating TMJ & Bruxism
Traditional TMJ treatments can be hit or miss. But with Myotronics equipment, we rely on science-backed, objective data to:
-
Diagnose with accuracy
-
Customize treatment based on your muscle and jaw patterns
-
Track progress with measurable results
-
Minimize the guesswork and improve your comfort
This isn’t just about advanced technology—it’s about better results, faster relief, and long-term solutions tailored just for you.
What Is Neuromuscular Dentistry?
Neuromuscular dentistry is a specialized approach to dental care that focuses on achieving harmony between your teeth, jaw joints (TMJ), and the muscles that control jaw movement. Unlike traditional dentistry, which primarily looks at teeth and gums, neuromuscular dentistry takes a broader view—evaluating how your entire jaw system functions. This approach is especially effective for treating TMJ disorders, bruxism (teeth grinding), chronic jaw pain, headaches, and neck tension. By finding your jaw’s ideal resting position, neuromuscular dentistry helps reduce pain, restore comfort, and improve long-term oral health.
How Our Practice Uses Neuromuscular Dentistry
At Bright Smiles Dentistry and Orthodontics, we incorporate neuromuscular principles into our treatment plans for TMJ and bruxism using state-of-the-art Myotronics technology. With tools like the K7x Evaluation System and J5 Dental TENS Unit, we can precisely measure muscle activity, relax tense jaw muscles, and determine your optimal bite position. This helps us create personalized treatment plans that target the root cause of your symptoms, rather than just masking the pain. Whether you’re in Cumming, Lawrenceville, or Dawsonville, GA, our neuromuscular dentistry services are designed to help you live pain-free and smile with confidence.

FAQ:
1. What causes TMJ pain and how do I know if I have it?
TMJ pain can result from stress, misaligned bites, teeth grinding, injury, or arthritis. Symptoms include jaw pain, clicking sounds, limited movement, headaches, or shoulder tension. A proper evaluation using the K7x system can help confirm the diagnosis.
2. Is the TENS treatment painful or invasive?
Not at all. The J5 TENS Unit provides a gentle, soothing pulse that relaxes the muscles. Most patients find the experience relaxing and feel relief within minutes.
3. Can I really use a TENS unit at home safely?
Yes. The BNS-40 Home Unit is specifically designed for dental patients. It’s safe, easy to use, and we’ll show you how to incorporate it into your daily routine for optimal results.
4. How long does it take to see improvement with TMJ or bruxism treatment?
Every case is different, but many patients notice relief within a few days to weeks when using the in-office and home treatments together. Continued use supports long-term improvements.
5. Is this covered by insurance?
Coverage varies, but our team will help you navigate your benefits. We also provide detailed documentation from the K7x system to support pre-authorization or claims where applicable.
