Dental EMG Technology by Noraxon
Surface Electromyography (sEMG) is a valuable tool in dentistry for objectively evaluating muscle activity in the jaw and face. By measuring the electrical signals generated by muscle contractions, EMG helps clinicians identify abnormal muscle patterns, assess resting tension, and monitor functional movements such as clenching, chewing, and swallowing. This data supports the diagnosis and treatment of conditions like temporomandibular disorders (TMD), bruxism, and occlusal imbalances. EMG is also used to track muscle fatigue, guide bite adjustments, and validate therapeutic outcomes—making it a key component in both diagnostic evaluations and neuromuscular treatment planning.

Dental EMG Technology by Noraxon
Noraxon’s EMG systems give clinicians a powerful, non-invasive way to measure and analyze muscle activity related to jaw function, bite alignment, and temporomandibular disorders (TMD). Using high-resolution surface electromyography (sEMG), they capture real-time data from key facial muscles—such as the masseter, temporalis, and digastrics—to support assessments, treatment planning, and progress tracking. With wireless sensors and intuitive software, Noraxon delivers a complete solution for dental practices focused on neuromuscular assessment, TMD therapy, and occlusal optimization.
