Introducing JawBuddy
The first digital self-therapy that treats the root cause of jaw pain, not just the symptoms.
The Problem
What problem do people face today? Every morning, over 2.5 million people in Germany alone wake up with a pounding head, ringing ears, and a stiff neck. They have been grinding their teeth all night—again.
In our high-stress world, Bruxism (teeth grinding) and CMD (Craniomandibular Dysfunction) have become silent epidemics. Yet, the healthcare system treats them as minor dental issues.
Who has this issue?
Stressed Professionals: High performers who carry their work stress in their jaw muscles.
Students: Young adults facing academic pressure, often delaying treatment until pain becomes unbearable.
Chronic Sufferers: Patients who have tried everything and are left with persistent facial pain and migraines.
How much is this costing you?
For Patients: It costs quality of life—chronic pain, poor sleep, and expensive out-of-pocket treatments.
For Insurers: It costs over €1,000 per patient per year in endless physiotherapy cycles and bite splint replacements that never solve the underlying issue.
Current Solutions
How are you solving this today? Most patients are forced to rely on a fragmented system of "Band-Aid" solutions:
Bite Splints: A piece of plastic that protects the teeth but does nothing to stop the grinding or relax the muscles.
Physiotherapy: Effective, but scarce. Waiting lists are months long, and once-a-week sessions aren't enough to change daily habits.
Botox/Painkillers: Expensive, temporary, and often come with unwanted side effects.
Why don't current solutions work? They are reactive, not preventive.
Splints are passive; they don't teach your muscles to relax.
Physio is disconnected; patients forget exercises the moment they leave the clinic.
TL;DR: The current standard of care manages the damage (teeth wear) but ignores the cause (muscular tension and stress behavior).
3. The Solution
What has changed? Technology has finally bridged the gap between the doctor's office and the patient's living room. We don't need more plastic splints. We need daily, guided behavioral change. By combining Computer Vision (AR) with Medical Expertise, we can now turn a smartphone into a 24/7 digital therapist.
How does JawBuddy work? JawBuddy (known as KauSchlau in Germany) is an intelligent medical app that guides you through your recovery.
Screening: You scan your face. Our AI analyzes your jaw opening (mm) and symmetry in real-time.
Planning: Our algorithm creates a hyper-personalized therapy plan adapted to your symptoms.
Guiding: You perform exercises with AR Feedback. The app watches your movement and corrects you instantly—ensuring you heal safely.
Why is JawBuddy better?
It works: Clinical data shows significant pain relief and improved jaw opening.
It's always there: Therapy happens when you need it—whether that’s 7 AM before work or 11 PM after a stressful day.
It's integrated: We don't replace your dentist; we extend their care. We are preparing for MDR Class I certification and partnering with insurers like AOK Plus to make this the new standard of care.
Relaunch your smile, without the pain.
