TMJ NextGeneration Device Provides Daytime Treatment For Temporomandibular Join

Renew Group, PTE Limited announces that the TMJ NextGeneration� device, a first-of-its-kind, FDA cleared medical device that is a safe and effective aid in reducing Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMJD) pain, is now available nationwide. The device consists of two custom-made, hollow ear canal inserts that allow full passage of sound and are practically invisible from the outside. Traditionally, TMJD has been treated with bite splints that are large and therefore only worn at night, making daytime patient compliance difficult.

The TMJ NextGeneration device takes a different approach in treating TMJD. The ear canal is located very close to the temporomandibular joint and the volume of the ear canal changes when the jaw is opened through chewing, smiling, and speaking. The device uses this anatomical change to provide a unique near field treatment for TMJD.

Patients wearing the devices in a three month clinical study experienced a significant reduction in the pain and dysfunction associated with TMJD. 100% of subjects indicated excellent (71%) or good (29%) overall satisfaction with the TMJ NextGeneration device.1
