Problem
Millions of people suffer from chronic bruxism (teeth grinding and clenching) and temporomandibular disorder (TMD), which can cause jaw pain, headaches, and lockjaw. Traditional treatments like mouth guards, physiotherapy, and Botox often fail to address the underlying muscle tension, leaving patients without a lasting solution they can use at home.
Solution
JawBuddy provides a mobile app that creates personalized training plans to help users relieve jaw tension and retrain jaw movement. Users select their symptoms and tap where they feel tension—head, jaw, or neck—and the app builds a tailored plan in about two minutes. The app includes exercises for the jaw, neck, and head with augmented reality guidance, and the plan adapts based on user feedback. A medical-grade version, JawBuddy Therapy, is in development as an MDR-compliant medical device with more than 300 exercises, to be distributed through participating health insurers.
Target Audience
Primary users are individuals suffering from bruxism, jaw clenching, TMJ pain, and related tension in the head, jaw, or neck who seek a self-guided, at-home exercise solution. The upcoming JawBuddy Therapy is targeted at patients with chronic bruxism and TMD through participating health insurers.
