JAWSENSE
Meet JawSense, the world's first startup for science-backed tools for bruxism & TMD.
We're developing two essential tools to combat bruxism and TMD:
-
Biofeedback device:
-
Prevent and unlearn harmful bruxism episodes
-
Learn how to relax your jaw muscles
-
Monitor your nightly behaviour
-
-
Jaw health app:
-
Keep track of symptoms, triggers, and reliefs to understand what lifestyle changes you can make to improve your jaw and sleep health.
-
Learn exercises and self-management techniques to reduce symptoms.
-
Learn more about bruxism and TMD to understand your experience and reduce anxiety.
-
Both tools are currently in development and will be available for testing in the upcoming months.
-
At JawSense, we believe that bruxism and TMD have been marginalized and undervalued for way too long. These conditions are extremely prevalent but often go undiagnosed and untreated while often having a significant impact on quality of life. Even worse, there isn't even a licensed treatment available at the moment and the causes of bruxism and TMD are still largely unknown.
As part of our mission to change the status quo, we've set out to develop effective treatments for bruxism and TMD and to contribute to research into these conditions. We believe that a science-backed and data-driven approach can finally provide insights and solutions.

"We founded JawSense because of our own debilitating experience with bruxism and TMD. We couldn't believe that there wasn't a validated treatment available -- especially given the enormous scale of the problem. In the last 2 years we've gathered a passionate team of experts, doctors, and engineers to change the future of bruxism and TMD treatment."
We're a small team of engineers, designers, and medtech experts driven to change the future of bruxism and TMD treatment. We collaborate with universities, research institutes, physiotherapists, dental surgeons, and individuals struggling with bruxism all over the world. Usually you'll find us in our headquarters in London or at one of our partners in the UK, the Netherlands or Belgium.
