Evidence over opinion. Data over dogma.
Bruxism and TMD science is full of controversy and conflicting advice. We cut through the noise with rigorous, peer-reviewed research and real patient data.
Our Working Mental Model
Most approaches fail because they focus on teeth. We focus on the brain.
Bruxism starts with neural signals during sleep — not bad bite alignment. Stress, emotion, and sleep quality modulate these signals. Dental mechanics matter, but they're downstream.
Understanding this changes everything — from how we build our sensors to how we design our behavioural programs.

"The health service has been grappling with these disorders, which are not only complex to diagnose but also lack licensed treatments tackling the root cause. This would have a profound and lasting impact on public health and well-being."
A Biofeedback Revolution
We leverage 60+ years of academic research and work closely with clinical experts to develop validated, evidence-based tools that tackle the root causes of bruxism and TMD.

What Drives Our Research
Independent Thinking
In a field overflowing with conflicting hypotheses, we stay radically open-minded. We examine every idea on its merits and adapt our models when new evidence emerges.
Quantitative Analytics
We collect millions of data points every night and interrogate them with modern statistical and ML techniques. Decisions are driven by numbers—not dogma.
Patient Input
If the data say one thing but patients say another, something is wrong with the data. We design studies and products around real-world patient experience.

Clinical Trials
We are collaborating with leading sleep clinics and dental hospitals to validate JawSense technology across diverse patient cohorts. Our first trial will run in 2026 for our sleep bruxism stimulation system.
Our wearable monitoring system enables longitudinal research on bruxism, sleep, and TMD. Interested in collaborating? We'd love to hear from you.

EMG Biofeedback for Awake Bruxism: What 25 Years of Research Shows
Real-time EMG biofeedback has been studied for over 25 years as a treatment for awake bruxism and TMD. Meta-analyses show 69% of patients improve with biofeedback vs 35% with placebo. Here's what the research tells us.

Jaw clenching is an unconscious habit that affects up to 30% of adults. Learn what science says about breaking the cycle with awareness training, biofeedback, and evidence-based exercises.
Sleep Bruxism vs Awake Bruxism: Why Treatment Must Differ
Same name, different conditions. Sleep and awake bruxism involve distinct brain mechanisms—which is why treating them identically often fails.
