Unboxing ClenchAlert®: What’s in the Box and How It Helps You Train Away Clenching
Whether you're just beginning your journey to manage bruxism or adding another tool to your wellness routine, ClenchAlert makes it simple to get started. This guide walks you through what comes in your ClenchAlert box, how each part works, and why it matters in the fight against teeth clenching and grinding.
Our biofeedback system is designed to help you build lasting awareness and healthier jaw habits — one relaxed moment at a time.
Packaging Options: Single Set or Twin Pack
ClenchAlert is available in two convenient formats to fit your lifestyle: a Single Set or a Twin Pack.
The Single Set is ideal if you’re focused on using ClenchAlert in one location — such as at home, while working remotely, or while winding down in the evening. It includes everything you need to start biofeedback training and begin reducing your clenching episodes.
The Twin Pack is perfect for people who want to keep one device at home and the other at work — or in a gym bag, travel kit, or desk drawer. Because bruxism doesn’t follow a schedule, many users prefer the flexibility of having a second unit always ready wherever they tend to clench most.
Both versions are identical in function and quality. They’re simply packaged to match your routine, so you never have to worry about forgetting your device or interrupting your training.
What’s Inside the Box
When you open your ClenchAlert package, you’ll find everything you need to begin using the device right away. The layout is simple, and the system is designed to be intuitive — no apps or tech setup required.
Each box includes two oral guards:
- A white active guard, which contains the biofeedback technology — including a vibration motor and pressure sensor that detects clenching and delivers a gentle vibration to bring it to your attention.
- A clear passive guard, which offers comfort and balance but does not vibrate. It can be worn simultaneously with the active guard or used alone when light protection or balance is needed.
Also included is a compact storage case for hygienic transport and safe storage between uses, and a quick-start guide to help you get familiar with proper placement, usage recommendations, and care.
The ClenchAlert system was intentionally designed to be portable, easy to use, and effective right out of the box — so you can start retraining your jaw habits from day one.
Active Guard (White): Your Biofeedback Trainer
The white active guard is the core of the ClenchAlert system. This discreet device sits between your cheek and teeth and contains a built-in pressure sensor that fits between your teeth and detect clenching behavior. When it senses that your teeth are pressing together, it emits a gentle vibration — not to startle, but to cue awareness and help you consciously relax your jaw.
This real-time feedback is the heart of biofeedback training. Many people don’t realize they’re clenching until pain or damage occurs. ClenchAlert intervenes early — in the moment — when behavior change is still possible.
The active guard is made from EVA, a soft, flexible, latex-free and BPA-free material that is safe and comfortable for extended wear. The electronics are sealed inside the EVA material, so there’s no charging, syncing, or app installation required. Just wear, clench, and respond.
Over time, the vibration becomes a cue to return to a healthier jaw posture: lips together, teeth apart. With consistent use — just 30 to 60 minutes a few times a day — users often begin noticing fewer clenching episodes and reduced jaw tension within two weeks.
Passive Guard (Clear): Balanced Comfort and Support
The passive guard is the unsung hero of the ClenchAlert system. While it doesn’t provide vibration feedback and its use is optional it can play an important supporting role in your training.
This clear guard is made from the same biocompatible EVA material as the active one and is designed to fit comfortably between your teeth and cheek. You can wear it on the opposite side of the active device for balance and support or use it on its own when you don’t need active feedback. The passive guard will hold the teeth apart and protect them from clenching damage.
Think of the passive guard as a flexible part of your bruxism toolkit. It's there when you need protection, comfort, or balance — even if you’re not actively training. And just like the active guard, it fits in the included case for clean, safe storage on the go.
Compact Storage Case: Convenience Meets Hygiene
We know how important convenience and cleanliness are when it comes to oral appliances — especially for something you wear during daily routines. That’s why every ClenchAlert set includes a slim, durable storage case.
This case is compact enough to fit in your purse, backpack, glove box, or office drawer. It keeps your guards clean between uses and protects them from dust, damage, or accidental loss. If you’re using ClenchAlert in more than one location — like at home and work — the case makes it easy to take your device with you wherever you go.
It’s also helpful when storing your passive and active guards separately, allowing you to keep track of your training gear and maintain good hygiene practices.
Regular use of the storage case helps extend the life of your guards, protect the internal components, and make it easier to integrate ClenchAlert into your daily routine.
Quick Start Guide: Training Made Simple
We understand that trying something new can feel overwhelming — especially if you’re already dealing with discomfort from clenching or grinding. That’s why we’ve included a simple, user-friendly Quick Start Guide to help you feel confident from day one.
This guide walks you through everything you need to know, from how to place the guard correctly, to tips on building effective training sessions. You’ll also find recommendations for how long to wear it, how to care for your device, and what to expect in the first few weeks of use.
Even better, the Quick Start Guide is based on real feedback from users and clinical insights into how biofeedback works best for behavior change. You won’t need any apps or tech setup — just follow the guide, insert the device, and begin observing your habits.
It’s straightforward, reassuring, and designed to help you feel supported as you build new, healthier jaw habits that last.
Start Small. Stay Consistent. See Results.
Unboxing ClenchAlert is more than opening a package — it’s the first step in a new, more mindful relationship with your jaw.
Our users typically begin with short daily sessions — around 30 to 60 minutes — during calm, focused activities like reading, working on the computer, or watching TV. Over time, the awareness created by ClenchAlert helps replace unconscious clenching with relaxed, healthy jaw posture.
By week two, many users report a reduction in jaw tension, fewer headaches, and improved focus. And because ClenchAlert doesn’t require charging, syncing, or pairing, you can build your training into your routine without any tech friction.
If you’ve chosen the twin pack, you’ve already set yourself up for success — having a ClenchAlert ready at home and at work makes it easier to stay consistent, especially when stress levels fluctuate throughout the day.

ClenchAlert® Frequently Asked Questions
What is ClenchAlert?
ClenchAlert is a discreet, wearable biofeedback device designed to help people reduce unconscious jaw clenching and teeth grinding — also known as bruxism. Worn inside the cheek, the device vibrates gently when bite pressure is detected, helping you become aware of the behavior and train your jaw to relax.
How does ClenchAlert work?
ClenchAlert uses biofeedback — a method that provides real-time physical cues to help modify involuntary behaviors. When you clench your teeth, the device detects the pressure and sends a light vibration. That vibration is your reminder to release tension and return to a healthier jaw posture: lips together, teeth apart.
How long does it take to see results?
Most users begin noticing a reduction in clenching frequency and jaw tension within 2 to 3 weeks of consistent use. Clinical research shows that biofeedback can reduce clenching by up to 50% over this timeframe. Long-term improvements depend on usage consistency and awareness-building.
Will this cure my bruxism?
ClenchAlert is not a cure — bruxism is a chronic condition. But it’s a highly effective training tool that helps reduce clenching episodes and prevent flare-ups. Think of it like managing back pain: awareness and consistent use of tools lead to better control.
Does ClenchAlert need to be charged?
No. ClenchAlert is not rechargeable. The electronics are permanently sealed inside a medical-grade EVA shell, which is latex-free, BPA-free, and non-permeable. The device is maintenance-free and ready to use right out of the box.
How long does ClenchAlert last?
ClenchAlert simulates 90+ days of regular use. Actual lifespan varies depending on clenching frequency. The more you improve your habits, the less often the device will vibrate — which can extend its functional life.
What’s included in the box?
Each ClenchAlert set includes:
- 1 Active Guard (white, with vibration)
- 1 Passive Guard (clear, no vibration)
- 1 Compact Storage Case
- 1 Quick Start Guide
Twin packs include two full sets for convenience at home and work.
How do I clean ClenchAlert?
Rinse both guards with lukewarm water and mild soap after each use. Do not use hot water or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the materials. Let them air dry completely before storing them in the case.
How should I use ClenchAlert each day?
Start with 30 to 60 minutes per session, ideally while doing calm, focused activities like working on a computer, reading, or watching TV. Increase usage as you become more comfortable. Many users integrate multiple short sessions into their daily routine.
Can I wear ClenchAlert at night?
Yes — many users wear the passive guard at night to support relaxed jaw posture or prevent teeth contact. However, ClenchAlert’s active biofeedback function is most effective during awake hours, when you can consciously respond to the vibration.
Should I get the single or twin pack?
We offer ClenchAlert in single and twin pack options. The twin pack is ideal for users who want one device at home and another at work, so you never have to interrupt your training or forget your guard on busy days.
Who is ClenchAlert for?
ClenchAlert is designed for adults and teens who struggle with awake bruxism, jaw tension, stress-related clenching, or facial pain. It’s ideal for professionals, students, athletes, and anyone looking to build healthier habits without medication.
