You MUST know the correct position of the pads.
Once you have them in place - start with a low voltage and work up to a tolerant level.
Do not use for an extended length of time as you may do permanent damage to the joint.

Good news - you WILL feel relief......

Speak with a TMJ specialist.

I use a simple ice pack when mine flares up.
