Patients with psychological stress, dysfunctional oral habits such as jaw clenching or bruxism, pain or
many other oral issues may have chronic hyperactivity of facial muscles and not even know it, thus
EMG is essential. The feedback cues can be used to assist patients with awareness and resolution of
muscle hyperactivity, nighttime teeth clenching, myofacial pain, or even neck and shoulder strain, especially
in combination with stress management therapy and orthotic appliances.
