BioTENS

Many clinicians and patients have found BioTENS to be remarkably helpful in managing facial, head and neck pains.

Also BioTENS can be used to relax muscles prior to taking a clinical bite registration.

BioTENS is a compact, Ultra-Low Frequency, Transcutaneous Electrical Neural Stimulator (ULF-TENS). This ULF-TENS delivers a precisely regulated, rhythmic stimulus to both masticatory and facial muscles. A single pair of electrodes provides gentle stimulation, mediated through the fifth (Vth) and Seventh (Vllth) cranial nerves, so that the benefits are received by the entire masticatory and facial musculature. When compared to 3-electrode units that require a ground on the back of the neck, the BioTENS is rated "much more comfortable" by patients.

Unlike drugs, BioTENS stimulation has no side effects (nausea, tiredness, etc.)
