The app for jaw tension, teeth grinding and clenching.
Tight jaw, tired mornings, headaches that start at the temples — most of it comes from clenching and grinding you don't notice you're doing. The app helps you catch it, ease it with short daily exercises, and see whether it's changing.

Week one
Map your daytime jaw pattern in 7 days
A week of short check-ins at the moments that matter is usually enough to see when your jaw is loading, and what it keeps happening around.
What's inside
Track, release, retrain — in your pocket
Catch the clenching while it's happening, bring the muscle down with short guided sessions, and build a resting default your jaw can hold on its own.
01 · TrackSee the pattern first
Check-ins catch the habit while it's happening. The diary and your analytics find what sits behind it.
- Awareness check-ins at smart moments
- Symptom and trigger diary
- Analytics that look for the pattern behind it
02 · ReleaseBring the tension down
Guided exercises, self-massage, breathing and resting position — short and daily. It starts with lips together, teeth apart.
- Guided exercise and release routines
- Self-massage for the jaw and temples
- Breathing, tongue and resting position
03 · RetrainTeach the brain a different default
Structured programmes swap the habit for a new resting default, practised daily until it stops being practice.
- Structured habit-reversal programmes
- Daily practice built around your triggers
- Progress you can actually see

What you get back
The app spots the patterns you can't see yourself
Logging is the easy half. Spotting the patterns in a month of entries is the hard half — so the app does that part for you.
What changed
This week compared with last week, so you can see slow progress even when the days feel the same.
What came before it
Your own triggers, ranked — including the ones that hit the next day, not the same day.
What actually helped
The routines you tried, ranked by how well they worked for you — not for the average person.
The comparison
Ways to work on a daytime clenching habit
The daytime half is the half you can catch in the act. These are the three ways people try.
| Reminders and willpower | A general relaxation app | The JawSense app | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Root causeIs it aimed at the jaw, or at everything? | At you remembering. That's the whole method. | At stress in general — the jaw is one item on a long list. | At the jaw: what it does, when it does it, and what actually releases it. |
| Catching itHow do you notice a habit you can't feel? | A ping, whether or not you were clenching. | A session you booked in advance, whether or not you needed it. | Check-ins that teach you your own tells, and something to do the moment you catch one. |
| After a monthIs anything actually tracked? | Whether you kept up with the reminders. | A streak. | Your own pattern — what you logged, what you did, and what moved. |
| The other halfWhat about the hours you're asleep for? | Nothing. You're asleep. | A wind-down, which is worth having. | Not from the app alone — that half is measured, and the app is where those nights land. |
| What it costsWhat do you pay to start? | Nothing. | Typically €5–15 a month. | Free to start. Premium is €9.99 a month. |
The sensor's nights land in this same app.

Finally stuck with something
I didn't expect much — I'd tried a lot of things. What surprised me was how much I liked having something structured to follow, and not doing it alone.
Better than the physio's
Your exercises are better than those the physio gave me. Tongue positioning has been so interesting to try during the day. Helped a lot.

The other eight hours
Check-ins catch what you notice. The sensor catches what you don’t.
You can only answer a check-in while you're awake — and plenty of it happens when you're asleep. Two nights with the JawSense ONE sensor, in your own bed, tell you what actually happens: how often, how long, how hard.
The science behind the app
Where it comes from.
Every programme, exercise and recommendation in the JawSense app comes from somewhere you can check:
International clinical guidelines
Aligned with current best-practice guidance for TMD and bruxism care
Exercise protocols from published trials
Exercises drawn from peer-reviewed clinical trials
Routines and habits, with the study behind each
Sleep, stress, posture and daily-load practices with evidence behind them
Built by people who grind their teeth
Founded by people who live with it themselves

Is it for you?
Who is JawSense for?
JawSense IS for:
- People who grind or clench their teeth (day or night)
- Those with jaw pain, headaches, or facial tension
- Anyone with clicking, popping, or limited jaw opening
- People dealing with related symptoms: neck pain, tinnitus, disrupted sleep
- Those whose dentist or doctor mentioned "TMJ" or "bruxism"
- Anyone who wants to do something about it without medication
JawSense is NOT:
- A replacement for professional care—we complement your healthcare team
- A quick fix—real improvement takes consistent practice
- One-size-fits-all — it starts from what your own days and nights actually show
If your symptoms are severe or worsening, please see a healthcare professional.
