Tee-MD devices

Tee-MD devices deliver a broad range of thermotherapy (heat) and efficacious massage techniques. Massage typically has a calming and balancing effect on the nervous system.

When applied, the nerves and sensory receptors are stimulated and messages are sent along the nerve pathways via the spinal cord to the brain. The parasympathetic system then slows down body activity, such as reducing the heart rate and lowering blood pressure.

The Tee-MD range of devices have been developed to minimize the discomfort of pain associated with TMD. In accordance with key protocols for self management, as outlined by oral medicine specialists.

The Tee-MD devices provides three essential elements:

  • Thermotherapy

  • Massage therapy

  • Relaxation

Tee-MD Rover

  • The Tee-Rover device is a unique massager that targets all facial muscles and muscles of mastication (chewing) to relieve the discomfort from trigger points associated with TMD.

  • The unique massage heads engage with trigger points in the muscles by lifting the soft tissue upwards and in a circular motion, both clockwise and anti-clockwise, simultaneously.

    This device creates compression and friction which acts upon the collagen fibres. These fibres in the muscles are then realigned, which increases flexibility and movement, encouraging further blood supply and relieving tension.

    Modes of action:

    Kneading massage

    Trigger point massage

Tee-MD Pro+

  • The Tee-MD Pro+ is ideal to apply thermotherapy (heat) and to massage painful trigger points in the muscles of mastication and surrounding facial muscles.

  • The device is unique in that it features 3 anatomically shaped silicone massage heads that are specific to the main muscle groups (masseter, temporalis and sternocleidomastoid).

    A thermotherapy warm up of these muscles at 42 degrees Celsius is an ideal complementary protocol with trigger point massage and should begin the treatment.

    Massaging in a circular motion around the painful areas and compressing directly on the trigger points can provide significant relief for TMD sufferers. Each patient has a different threshold of pain and discomfort in their trigger points. Some patients only obtain a release after heavy pressure whilst others need the lightest touch imaginable.

    A deeper trigger point massage is achieved by increasing the vibratory speed and application of more pressure. The device comes with 2 differing hardness of massage heads.

Tee-MDi

  • Tee-MDi is a proven therapeutic device that delivers:

    ⁃ targeted compressional massage to a variety of facial and head and neck muscles

    ⁃ specific thermotherapy (heat)to enliven blood circulation

    ⁃ soothing vibratory massage to treat areas of tension around the whole head and neck including the eyes, temporalis muscles, muscles of mastication and muscles of facial expression

    ⁃ relaxation using a variety of music and audio files

    ⁃ induces onset of sleep

  • Compressional and vibratory massage fires the muscles to stretch, which enables the spasmed and tender jaw and facial muscles to relax. The pressure applied by Tee-MDi stretches special cells in the muscles and triggers them to lengthen. This relieves the muscle from spasm and is generally accompanied by a general discomfort alleviation of most of the facial or head and neck muscles.

    Compression from Tee-MDi also constricts the facial and neck muscle fibers and capillaries: metabolites, by-products of muscles doing work, are then eliminated.

    This momentary reflexive tightening of the muscle compresses blood flow and the lymph channels. This forces metabolites out of muscle tissue and prevents irritation caused by the lack of drainage of lactic, hyaluronic and carbonic acids.

  • What is ESS?

    The syndrome designates an overstimulation of the nervous system caused by excessive screen time that influences behavior, mood, and focus. This goes not only for teenagers obsessed with digital devices but even for adults.

    Many adults are on their screens between 2 to 6 hours per day and the devices tend to intrude on visual and mental space, sometimes becoming an addiction.

    What are the characteristics of the syndrome?

    The symptoms mimic any other neurological disorder, but the differential characteristic of ESS is that the symptoms are gone as soon as the disruptive screen influence is removed.

    Among troubling signs are:

    • changing mood

    • headache

    • blurry eyes

    • foggy brain

    • eye strain

    • excessive temper tantrums

    • poor self-control

    • disorganization of behavior

    • sleep disorders

    • learning difficulties

    • depression

    Relief using Tee-MDi

    Tee-MDi brings about significant relief to the symptoms of ESS by allowing the eye (and thus the brain) to cease being overstimulated.

    The thermotherapy, acupressure and vibratory massage, when coupled with the complete absence of light, allow the eyeball and muscles surrounding the eye to relax (all kickstarting the much-needed parasympathetic response).

    How to use the device

    The ideal protocol is to use twice daily for periods of 15 minutes.

    Lunch and prior to sleep are ideal but the device can be used following an extended period of screen exposure.

    Lay down in a quiet environment and turn the device on using the relaxation mode.

    The addition of white noise using Bluetooth can make the treatment even more effective

Tee-MD Range Of Motion (ROM) Gauge

  • A restricted degree of mouth opening is often a sign that muscle length changes from TMD have or are occurring.

    The normal range of motion for opening is 40 to 60 mm. Limited or restricted range of motion (less than 40 mm) is a reduction in an individual’s ability for normal range of movement. Along with opening movement, an individual should be able to slide their jaw to the left and to the right at least 25 percent of their total mouth open­ing in a symmetrical fashion.

    When restricted movement exists, an imbalance in the TMJ and associated musculature is present, and a breakdown of that system is like­ly to occur. In the case of the mouth range of opening, when an individual cannot open their mouth very far, the muscles supporting the TMJ are restricted due to pain, strain, inflam­mation, swelling, injury, disease, or another cause.

  • To use the Tee-MD ROM gauge, place the notch on the bottom of the scale between the lower incisor teeth. The top part of the device measures where the upper incisor teeth touch when the mouth is fully open.
