“…When used in a small sample (n = 12) of healthy volunteers, masseter muscle contraction episodes detected by this sEMG wearable at wake-time in naturalistic settings were of a low amplitude (< 10% maximum voluntary contraction) and short duration (< 10s), concurring with research that used obtrusive, wired, portable recording equipment [22][23][24]. Testing in a sample of adult women (n = 53) in naturalistic settings followed, wherein this wearable sEMG device was used simultaneously with a triaxial wrist accelerometer, for objective measurements of MMA and daily physical activity respectively [25]. Following recording of MMA and physical activity in naturalistic settings over couple of days, a questionnaire based assessment of oral behaviour was carried out.…”

Wearable devices are worn on or remain in close proximity of the human body. The use of wearable devices speci c to the orofacial region are steadily increasing. Orofacial applications of wearable devices include supplementing diagnosis, tracking treatment progress, monitoring patient compliance and understanding oral parafunctional behaviours. In this short communication, the role of wearable devices in advancing personalized dental medicine are highlighted with a speci c focus on masticatory muscle activity monitoring in naturalistic settings. Additionally, challenges, opportunities as well as future research areas for successful use of wearable devices for precise, personalized care of muscle disorders are discussed.

Wearable technology to augment traditional approaches are increasingly being added to the arsenals of treatment providers. Wearable technology generally refers to electronic systems, devices, or sensors that are usually worn on or are in close proximity to the human body. Wearables may be stand-alone or integrated into materials that are worn on the body. What sets medical wearables apart from other systems is their ability to collect, store, and relay information regarding an individual’s current body status to other devices operating on compatible networks in naturalistic settings. The last decade has witnessed a steady increase in the use of wearables specific to the orofacial region. Applications range from supplementing diagnosis, tracking treatment progress, monitoring patient compliance, and better understanding the jaw’s functional and parafunctional activities. Orofacial wearable devices may be unimodal or incorporate multiple sensing modalities. The objective data collected continuously, in real time, in naturalistic settings using these orofacial wearables provide opportunities to formulate accurate and personalized treatment strategies. In the not-too-distant future, it is anticipated that information about an individual’s current oral health status may provide patient-centric personalized care to prevent, diagnose, and treat oral diseases, with wearables playing a key role. In this review, we examine the progress achieved, summarize applications of orthodontic relevance and examine the future potential of orofacial wearables.
