TMJ with EMFACE® in Buffalo

As a physician, I see every day how connected stress, muscle tension, sleep, anxiety, hormones, and chronic discomfort can be.

TMJ symptoms are often not “just a dental issue.” Many patients experience worsening jaw tension during periods of stress, poor sleep, hormonal changes, or chronic anxiety.

I am interested in treatments that help patients feel better, function better, and improve quality of life — especially when conventional approaches have not fully solved the problem.

TMJ stands for temporomandibular joint disorder. It can involve:

• jaw tightness
• clenching or grinding
• headaches
• facial pain
• neck tension
• clicking or popping of the jaw
• discomfort when chewing

Symptoms can range from mild annoyance to chronic daily pain.

Emface technology uses advanced energy-based treatment designed to:

• relax overactive muscles
• improve muscle balance
• reduce tension patterns
• support circulation and healing
• improve muscle function over time

Treatment is non-surgical and requires no downtime.

Many patients describe the sessions as comfortable and relaxing.

This treatment may help patients experiencing:

• jaw clenching
• teeth grinding
• facial tension
• stress-related muscle tightness
• tension headaches
• TMJ discomfort
• chronic jaw fatigue

• Treatment sessions are performed in-office and typically take less than an hour.Most patients require a series of treatments depending on the severity and duration of symptoms.During your consultation, Dr. Sutter will review your symptoms, medical history, and goals to determine whether treatment may be appropriate for you.
