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 mouthguard with a smart sensor that detects jaw tension in real time and gently cues your awareness. No loud buzzers, no alarms, just a subtle nudge toward awareness.
You’re Putting 250 Pounds of Pressure on Your Teeth, Without Even Knowing It
People who clench their teeth can exert up to 250 pounds of force on their jaw—that's like bench-pressing a fridge, with your teeth.
Studies show that clenching and grinding affects 8-31% of adults, making them one of the most common sleep-related behaviors. And because it often happens unconsciously, it goes unchecked, night after night, moment after moment.
Brux Aware helps you catch these habits. The sensor detects tension in real time and responds with a gentle pulse, helping you notice the habit in the moment. That awareness is the first step to better sleep.

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 protection, not active awareness.
That's where Brux Aware’s biofeedback comes in.
What is Biofeedback?
Research shows that when people receive gentle, real-time cues about unconscious behaviors, they notice patterns they didn't know existed. It's not about forcing the behavior 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
Boil-and-bite material that molds to your teeth. It's designed to stay in place, though, like any mouthguard, there's an adjustment period.
USB-C Charging + UV Sanitizing Case
The case does double duty, it charges your device while sanitizing it using UV light.
How it Works
Wear the mouthguard day or night and work/play/sleep
The sensors in the mouthguard will activate when they detect clenching and grinding
You’ll feel a gentle pulse that help bring attention to jaw tension (like a subtle cue)
With time, your subconscious may become more aware of clenching and grinding

Built by People Who Understand Both Tech and Health
Brux Aware was developed by a team with backgrounds in health-focused technology, wearables, and medical engineering, including the inventor of the retractable hospital needle and the creators behind FDA-cleared devices.
While Brux Aware isn't a medical device, it's built with the same attention to safety, precision, and human-centered design. We didn't set out to make just another mouthguard. We wanted to create something that helps you understand your patterns and build better habits.
Awareness Starts with a Signal
Brux Aware helps you notice tension 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.
