Tech That Nudges, Not Judges
Tech That Nudges, Not Judges
Clenching isn’t a choice, it’s a reflex. Whether you’re asleep, focused, or stressed, most people don’t realize when it’s happening, which makes it hard to know when you're doing it.
Brux Aware is built to change that.
It’s a mouth-worn sensor that detects jaw clenching in real time and gently cues your awareness. No loud buzzers, no alarms, just a subtle nudge toward awareness.
You’re Putting Serious Force on Your Teeth, Without Even Knowing It
A clenched jaw can put hundreds of pounds of force on your teeth, and most people who clench have no idea they’re doing it. Because it happens unconsciously, it goes unnoticed, night after night, moment after moment.
Brux Aware helps you catch it. The sensor detects clenching in real time and answers with a gentle pulse, so you notice the habit in the moment. That awareness is the first step to changing a habit.

Why Most Mouthguards Miss the Point
Traditional guards, those bulky plastic ones you get at drugstores, just absorb pressure. They don’t help you notice when you’re clenching, or why. They're passive, not aware.
That's where the cue comes in.
How the Cue Works
When people receive a gentle, real-time cue about something they do without noticing, they start to notice it. It's not about forcing anything to stop. It's about bringing awareness to something that usually happens in the background.
Brux Aware applies a simple form of this idea: when it detects pressure from clenching or grinding, it gives a gentle cue to help you recognize what’s happening in the moment (without waking you up if you grind or clench while you sleep).
No judgment. No alarm. Just a quiet signal, so you can subconsciously notice the habit and choose what comes next.
How Brux Aware Works
Brux Aware isn’t just something you wear, it’s a new way to tune into your body. Subtle awareness throughout the day (and night) can create space for new habits.
Smart Pressure Detection
Sensors track jaw pressure and distinguish between normal movement and clenching or grinding.
Gentle Haptic Feedback
A soft, customizable pulse that draws your attention without jarring you awake or disrupting your focus.
App-Connected Insights
See your patterns over time: when clenching happens, how often, and how your awareness is growing.
Custom Fit
Heat-softened material that molds to your teeth during the at-home fitting. It's designed to stay in place, though, like anything worn in the mouth, there's an adjustment period.
USB-C Charging Case
Charges your device and keeps it stored between wears.
How it Works
Wear Brux Aware day or night, at work, at play, or asleep
The sensors activate when they detect clenching or grinding
You’ll feel a gentle pulse that brings attention to the clenching (a subtle cue)
With time, your subconscious may become more aware of clenching and grinding

Built by People Who Sweat the Details
Brux Aware was developed by a team with backgrounds in connected hardware, wearables, and precision engineering, including the inventor of the retractable hospital needle.
Brux Aware is a general wellness product, not a medical device, and it has not been reviewed or cleared by the FDA. It is built with the attention to precision and comfort we'd want in anything we wear ourselves. We didn't set out to make a mouthguard at all. We wanted something that helps you understand your patterns and build better habits.
Awareness Starts with a Signal
Brux Aware helps you notice clenching in real time, one gentle cue at a time. It’s not about forcing change. It’s about recognizing a pattern you may not have noticed before.
Because the first step toward any habit shift is knowing when it’s happening.
