Does This Sound Like You?
Jaw pain or soreness when waking up
Clicking or popping when opening your mouth
Headaches or ear pain with no clear cause
Difficulty chewing or jaw feeling "locked"
Neck and shoulder tension that won't go away
Grinding or clenching your teeth at night
Most jaw pain starts the same way: stress builds during the day, your muscles tighten without you noticing, and at night your jaw takes the hit. You grind. You clench. You wake up sore. A bite guard can protect your teeth, but it won't retrain the muscles causing the problem.
Why this keeps happening:
Stress that settles in your jaw muscles
Nighttime clenching you don't notice
Poor sleep and chronic muscle tension
The current approach isn't working
Most people get a bite guard and are told to "relax more." That's not enough.
How JawBuddy Works
From download to feeling better
Tell us where it hurts
A quick 2-minute assessment maps your symptoms: pain location, severity, time of day. Your plan is built from that, not from a generic template.
Follow your daily plan
Short video exercises, adapted each day based on how you're responding. Your phone's camera tracks your jaw movement so you know you're doing it right.
Watch the pain drop
Track your pain levels week over week. Most people feel a difference within 2 to 3 weeks. Not a miracle, just consistent, targeted muscle work.

Real stories, real relief
From people who were exactly where you are now
I used to wake up every morning with my jaw locked shut. Sometimes it took 10 minutes before I could eat breakfast. After week 2, I noticed I wasn't clenching in my sleep anymore. By week 4, the morning lockjaw was gone entirely.
Mouth guards, physio, cortisone injections, Botox. I spent over €3,000 trying to fix this. Nothing stuck because nothing addressed the muscle tension patterns. The adaptive exercises here actually retrain how my jaw moves. First thing that's worked long-term.
Most of my CMD patients struggle with compliance. They get a sheet of exercises and never do them. JawBuddy solves that. The video guidance and progress tracking keep patients engaged, and I can see measurable improvements in jaw mobility at follow-up appointments.

Frequently Asked Questions
Honest answers. No marketing fluff.
Bruxism means you unconsciously grind your teeth or clench your jaw, during the day or while sleeping. Common signs include a tense jaw, neck pain, headaches, or worn-down teeth. Many people don't notice it until symptoms become severe. Ask your dentist at your next visit if they see signs of grinding.
JawBuddy gives you daily exercise videos, pain tracking, and reminders, all tailored to your symptoms. The exercises are designed by an Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon and adapt based on your progress. Think of it as a physio in your pocket.
