ClenchAlert® is an active biofeedback wearable device with a sensor array that senses clenching and then provides haptic feedback by gently vibrating so the user can take steps to relax their jaw to defend against headaches, neck and face pain caused by uncontrolled teeth clenching.
Awake clenching is closely related to stress, anxiousness, and prolonged concentration. Therapies include stretching, exercise, and behavioral change.
Clenching is an unconscious condition only noticed when jaw muscles react to overuse.
Uncontrolled teeth clenching can become chronic, causing tooth damage, pain, and discomfort that is difficult to manage.
ClenchAlert® is designed to provide early awareness so the user can manage clenching before the pain starts.

WHY CONSIDER ClenchAlert® BITE GUARD
Up to 90% of people grind their teeth to some degree during their lifetime. When deemed excessive, this condition is classified as bruxism, estimated to affect nearly a third of the population. Bruxism commonly leads to tension-type headaches or pain in the jaw, mouth, face, ears, or neck. These acute pain situations often impede upon normal life activities, and result in cracked or worn teeth that compromise smiles and may require expensive dental repairs.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is non-clinical jaw tension?
Non-clinical jaw tension refers to tightness, clenching, or discomfort in the jaw that isn’t linked to a medical diagnosis like temporomandibular disorders (TMD). It is often caused by stress, poor posture, or daily habits and can affect overall physical wellness.
What causes non-clinical jaw tension?
Common causes include: Stress or intense focus: Clenching the jaw during periods of concentration or tension. Poor posture: Strain on jaw and neck muscles from slouching or prolonged use of devices like smartphones or computers. Lifestyle habits: Behaviors such as chewing gum, nail-biting, or resting the jaw awkwardly.
How can ClenchAlert help with jaw tension?
ClenchAlert is a tool that provides gentle feedback when you clench or grind your teeth, helping you recognize and correct the behavior. This reinforcement encourages maintaining a healthy, relaxed jaw position: lips together, teeth apart.
Why is jaw tension important to address?
Ignoring jaw tension can lead to discomfort in the jaw, face, neck, and shoulders. Proactively addressing tension can prevent it from escalating and help maintain physical comfort and ease.
What are some steps to manage jaw tension?
Here are practical tips to reduce jaw tension: Use ClenchAlert for awareness: ClenchAlert identifies clenching and gently reminds you to relax your jaw. Practice relaxation exercises: Stretch or massage your jaw muscles to release tightness. Adopt a relaxed jaw position: Keep your lips together and teeth apart throughout the day to maintain a neutral, tension-free position. Improve posture: Sit and stand with proper alignment to avoid strain on your jaw and surrounding muscles. Adjust habits: Limit activities like gum chewing or nail-biting that may contribute to tension.
How does poor posture contribute to jaw tension?
Slouching or improper posture strains the muscles around your jaw and neck, increasing tension. Correcting your posture reduces this strain and promotes a healthy, relaxed jaw position.
How does ClenchAlert enhance awareness of clenching?
ClenchAlert gently alerts you when clenching or grinding occurs, allowing you to consciously relax your jaw into the lips together, teeth apart position. This regular feedback helps you break the habit and prevent unnecessary tension.
Are jaw relaxation exercises effective?
Yes, exercises like slowly opening and closing your mouth or massaging your jaw muscles can relieve built-up tension and improve comfort.
How does jaw tension affect the body?
Persistent jaw tension can lead to discomfort in the neck, shoulders, and upper back, creating a cycle of physical strain. Managing tension helps improve overall mobility and reduces muscle fatigue.
What are the benefits of maintaining a relaxed jaw position?
Keeping your jaw in a lips together, teeth apart position prevents clenching and minimizes unnecessary strain. This simple practice promotes long-term comfort and supports better physical alignment.
When should I seek professional help for jaw tension?
If your jaw tension persists or interferes with daily life, consult a healthcare professional to explore solutions and ensure no underlying conditions contribute to the discomfort.
