About ClenchAlert®

ClenchAlert® is a wellness device designed to help people break free from unconscious jaw clenching—the hidden habit behind tension headaches, jaw pain, face and neck strain, tooth wear, and everyday stress fatigue. Using gentle, real-time biofeedback, ClenchAlert® alerts you when you clench, empowering you to recognize the habit and relax your muscles before pain builds up.

Developed by the Hawkeye Group, ClenchAlert® combines advanced materials with human-centered design to create a simple, effective, and accessible solution for managing the most common form of awake bruxism: daytime clenching.

About ClenchAlert®

Our Story

ClenchAlert® was created with a clear goal:

To raise awareness of unconscious habits that cause daily discomfort—so people can take back control of their well-being.

For millions of people, jaw clenching is a silent stress response. Whether triggered by work, gaming, driving, anxiety, posture, or digital overload, the habit often goes unnoticed until pain appears. Traditional solutions like night guards only protect your teeth—they don’t teach your body to stop clenching.

ClenchAlert® changes that.

By detecting excessive pressure and delivering a subtle vibration, it transforms an unconscious habit into an intentional moment of release. Over time, users build awareness, reduce strain, and experience meaningful improvements in comfort and quality of life.

THE SCIENCE

How Biofeedback Helps Jaw Clenching

With clenching, the problem is timing. You don't realize it's happening until your jaw hurts. Biofeedback closes that gap—turning an invisible habit into something you can observe, interrupt, and retrain.

STEP 1

Detect

Sensor picks up clenching pressure as it's happening—not hours later when pain hits.

STEP 2

Interrupt

A gentle vibration cues you to pause, breathe, and separate your teeth.

STEP 3

Retrain

Repeated over time, your nervous system learns a new default: lips together, teeth apart.

THE HEALTHY RESTING POSITION

"Lips together. Teeth apart. Tongue resting gently on the roof of the mouth."

Most people who clench have forgotten what a relaxed jaw feels like. ClenchAlert helps you re-learn the difference between tension and release.

HOW CLENCHALERT WORKS

A simple biofeedback loop.

STEP 1

Wear it during trigger times

Use ClenchAlert during the moments you are most likely to clench — computer work, driving, email, phone scrolling, studying, reading, stressful conversations, or focus-heavy tasks. You do not need to wear it all day. Start with a specific window, such as 20 to 30 minutes during work, driving, or screen time.

STEP 2

Feel the gentle vibration

When your jaw tightens, ClenchAlert gives you a gentle vibration cue. It is not meant to startle you — it is simply a signal: your jaw is tightening. Release. Reset.

STEP 3

Release and reset

When ClenchAlert vibrates, relax your jaw, separate your teeth, let your tongue rest gently, take a slow breath, and return to what you were doing. The cue gives you a chance to interrupt the automatic pattern.

STEP 4

Track what you notice

Over time, you may begin to see when clenching happens most often — patterns around stress, focus, posture, sleep, caffeine, screen time, or certain parts of the day. That awareness gives you a better starting point for change.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Randy Clare

Randy Clare spent decades in the dental device industry — working on mouthguards, functional appliances, and sleep apnea solutions. Then his own jaw demanded answers. After a severe TMJ episode and $30,000 in dental restorations, Randy stopped asking how to fight clenching and started asking why it was happening. That shift led him deep into neurobiology, habit science, and stress physiology, and ultimately produced the BRUX Method — a framework designed to teach the nervous system that it no longer needs to brace. BRUX Method Essentials is the culmination of that work, written for anyone who has ever been told to "just relax" without being shown how.
