LEADERS IN THE FIELD OF NEUROMUSCULAR DENTISTRY FOR OVER 40 YEARSMyotronics develops and manufactures state of the art evaluation and treatment devices for dentists. Since 1964 Myotronics has pioneered and lead this field, producing high quality products that have enabled what has come to be known as “Neuromuscular Dentistry” -- the gathering of additional scientific data to enhance the clinician’s ability to diagnose complex cases of malocclusion. By keeping abreast of technological advancements over the years, the Company has dramatically increased the simplicity of operation and the ability to better process and display captured data. Quality of product and strong customer support further cement Myotronics’ position as leader of this industry. The evolution and improvement of instrumentation for the neuromuscular dentist has continued through a succession of models. Today’s J5 Myomonitor TENS Unit and K7 Evaluation System incorporate the very latest in technology, providing dentists with more information than ever to aid in their diagnosis and treatment of occlusal irregularities. Myotronics prides itself in the quality and after-sale support of our products. Myotronics products are utilized in clinical practices and in research settings in dozens of countries throughout the world. The products are used prominently in research projects in many international universities. Accredited continuing education programs are co-sponsored by Myotronics in both the U.S. and Internationally.

HISTORICAL MILESTONESLeaders in the Field of Neuromuscular Dentistry
HISTORICAL PHOTO GALLERYClick Image To View |
Myotronics was founded as a result of the decades long work of the late Dr. Bernard Jankelson, a noted prosthodontist. Early in his practice, Dr. Jankelson recognized that purely mechanical concepts he had learned in his dental training sometimes worked, but often did not. He began a study of the muscular and physiological aspects of the orofacial area and their impact on occlusion, mandibular function and patient health. First at the biomedical engineering department of the University of Washington and then with the aid of an electrical engineer employed in his private practice, he developed modern instrumentation for evaluation and documentation of occlusal parameters not possible with mechanical articulators and clutches.
Dr. Robert Jankelson, son of the founder of Myotronics, joined his father in practice and continued his work, making significant contributions to the further development and study of neuromuscular dental principles and instrumentation. Possibly the world’s pre-eminent authority in this field, he has authored a major textbook on the subject, written scientific articles, and lectured extensively at universities and other professional venues around the world. He continues to serve the Company as a consultant and member of the Board of Directors.
