A balanced approach to facial wellness, function, and hope.
TMJ pain is more common than people realize — and more life-altering than most will ever admit.
After 27 years as a dental hygienist, I’ve seen first-hand how jaw tension, muscle spasms, grinding, clenching, and lockjaw can completely change a person’s daily life.
People tell me they can’t enjoy meals.
They avoid social activities.
They live with headaches, stress, and constant discomfort.
They can feel hopeless.
That’s why bringing Emface Functional to Maryville wasn’t just a business decision — it was a mission.
My purpose is simple:
to help people change their lives by relieving stress, easing pain, and restoring natural movement.
Understanding TMJ: When Muscle Dysfunction Takes Over
TMJ dysfunction affects far more than the jaw joint. It influences:
• Headaches
• Facial tension
• Limited opening
• Stress-related clenching
• Pain that radiates into the temples and neck
• Daily activities: eating, speaking, even smiling
Many patients spend years trying nightguards, Botox, medications, massage, or physical therapy.
These can help — but many don’t experience full relief because the root cause remains unaddressed: the facial muscles themselves.
What Is Emface Functional?
Emface Functional is a painless, noninvasive treatment that retrains, strengthens, relaxes, and balances the muscles involved in TMJ pain.
It works directly with:
• Temporalis muscles
• Masseter muscles
