The Clench Relief Mouth Piece PRO RX is a custom-fit mouthguard which allows the user to achieve a jaw position that protects teeth and restorations from injury due to clenching, grinding, and bruxism.
The product also provides temporary relief of TMD and bruxism by reducing muscle tension and allows for temporary treatment of TMD along with the relief of associated headaches and pains.
The Clench Relief Mouth Piece PRO RX frame is designed to help reposition the lower jaw into a place of low muscle activity and decompress the jaw joint.
It allows the back molars to bite in a centered and forward position that decreases muscle activity and de-compresses the jaw joint allowing the disc to remain on the condyle of the jaw which can help alleviate popping and clicking.
It achieves this by using an anterior alignment guide that allows the patient’s front top and bottom central incisors to position and center themselves inside the groove of the alignment guide. We achieve a custom fit using the PVS which hardens in approximately 2-3 minutes! Once it hardens around the posterior teeth, the alignment guide is removed thus removing any contact with the anterior teeth and contact remains only on the posterior teeth. This is the desired optimized jaw position!
Get ClenchRelief Pro RX Mouthpiece now!Whats so special about the CRAG?
The innovative aspect of the Clench Relief process lies in the use of the Clench Relief Alignment Guide, which plays a crucial role in achieving the desired jaw position The alignment guide allows for just the posterior molars to remain in contact as the CRAG is removed once the PVS hardens around the posterior teeth
Here's a breakdown of why the above CRAG is considered innovative:
1-Optimised Lower Jaw Position
The Clench Relief Alignment Guide is designed to bring the lower jaw into a specific position – down and forward. This position is aimed at relaxing the muscles and aligning the jaw in a way that reduces tension and stress, thus minimizing the urge to clench and grind the teeth. During set-up, the patient should close gently on the alignment guide allowing the lower jaw to be centered with the face and hovering above the wear facets of the upper and lower anterior teeth.
2. Maintaining Jaw Position:
While the PVS (Polyvinyl Siloxane) material sets, the 2mm thick alignment guide holds the lower jaw in this down and forward relaxed position. This allows the PVS material to fill in the space that exists from the reverse curve of Spee between the molars.
3. Optimal Occlusion:
By holding the jaw in the desired position, the Clench Relief Alignment Guide ensures that the posterior occlusion (contact between the back teeth) is balanced and the anterior (front) teeth do not make contact with the lower jaw. This balanced occlusion is important for muscle tension relief and fluid jaw comfort.. No occlusal adjustment is needed.
4. Precision Custom Fit:
The combination of the relaxed jaw position enforced by the alignment guide and the setting of the PVS material results in a mouthpiece that is custom-fit as the impression material shapes to the patients unique tooth anatomy. This precision fit enhances the effectiveness of the mouthpiece in providing relief from clenching, grinding, or TMJ-related issues.
5. Remove the Anterior Alignment Guide:
Once the PVS material is fully set, the alignment guide is removed. which allows for the aligned posterior contact. Trim any excess PVS material, ensuring a comfortable and functional fit for the patient.
Overall, the integration of the Clench Relief Alignment Guide (CRAG) into the fitting process makes the accuracy and efficacy of the precise bite location predictable in minutes. The design and shape of our standard orthotic is the same shape of laboratory made mouthpieces that address various dental concerns related to optimized TMJ relief jaw positioning and muscle relaxation.
How do you get a custom fit with no lab?
By using our patented, proprietary Clench Relief Fit material along with the Clench Relief Mouth Piece frame and an anterior Alignment guide is the key to the custom-fit, no lab, orthotic!.
Here's a step-by-step breakdown of how to get a custom fit with no lab.
1-Mix two balls of our proprietary Clench Relief Fit Material PVS base and catalyst together for 30 seconds until the materials are well combined.
2-Roll the combined PVS into a cylindrical shape resembling a hotdog and split in equal halves..
3-Pack Each Half Underneath Each Side of the Mouth Piece Frame (the word “clench relief is upright to determine top and bottom of the frame easily) with Alignment Guide Attached:
Pack each half underneath each side of the Clench Relief Mouth Piece frame. The frame serves as the outer shell of the orthotic for packing the material correctly and holds the PVS effectively when placed in the mouth. Make sure the anterior Alignment guide is attached to the front of the mouthpiece. The alignment guide helps in maintaining the desired forward-centered position of the lower jaw while the posterior newly placed PVS halves begin to set.
4-Patient closes gently on the attached Alignment Guide and Holds for 3 minutes :
This allows the PVS material to set and take the shape of the patient's bite filling the space between the upper and lower molars. The upper posterior teeth will be indexed into the PVS while the lower posterior teeth will have a snug complete fit.
5-Trim Excess Material:
After about 10 minutes, once the PVS material has fully cured, trim any excess material that may have extended beyond the mouthpiece frame.
6-Remove the Alignment Guide:
Carefully remove the anterior Alignment guide from the mouthpiece. The Clench Relief Mouthpiece is fully completed in minutes! No lab and a custom fit!
It's important to note that this procedure should be carried out by a qualified dental professional who is familiar with the specific materials and techniques involved. Proper fitting and adjustment are crucial for the effectiveness of the mouthpiece in providing relief and improving jaw alignment. Please ask us for a Clench Relief Certified Dentist near you.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Is the Clench Relief Mouth Piece cleared by the FDA?
Clench Relief is FDA 510k cleared for short-term treatment of TMD pain and associated headache and bruxism, and for relief of muscle tension in the head and neck. Clench Relief is patented,
Does the Clench Relief Mouth Piece cover the lower or upper posterior teeth?
Clench Relief Mouth Piece PRO RX is designed to fit over the lower posterior teeth . The upper teeth are indexed into the fit material for patient comfort since the VPS will flow through the lattices of the mouth piece.
What allows the patients to achieve a bite in the “Zone of Comfort” with the Clench Relief Mouthpiece?
Creating a balanced posterior occlusion with no anterior contact with the lower jaw in a forward-centered position can indeed be beneficial for certain dental conditions or treatments. Here’s why it works!
1. Balanced Posterior Occlusion: This refers to achieving an even distribution of forces on the back teeth (posterior teeth) when the jaws come together. This balance helps in keep the muscles calm and relaxed and minimizes stress on the jaw joints.
2. No Anterior Contact with the Lower Jaw and centered over the wear patterns of the teeth: This means that when the jaws are in a closed position, there is no contact or pressure on the front teeth (anterior teeth) of the lower jaw since its purposely suspended and centered above the wear facets. This can be important in cases where there are issues with tooth wear, jaw misalignment, or temporomandibular joint (TMJ) problems since the muscles have created these wear patterns over time. The Clench Relief Alignment Guide is beneficial in allowing the patient to end up in this corrective physiologic position!
3. Forward-Centered Position: The lower jaw (mandible) is positioned forward from its usual biting position as the muscles can relax more. This forward positioning can be beneficial in situations by improving airflow during sleep and patients can wake up without muscle soreness or tension.
4. Clench Relief Fit Material: The Vinyl Polysiloxane fit material is beneficial in the fitting process as it engages into the spaces of the upper and lower posterior teeth while the patients is closed onto the anterior alignment guide. This process is designed to help maintain the relaxed and centered position of the lower jaw as guided by the alignment guide while the fit material hardens over the next ten minutes.
Overall, the goal of using these tools and techniques is to optimize jaw alignment, reduce strain on the teeth and jaw joints, and possibly alleviate head-aches, neck and muscle pain and certain dental or sleep-related issues. It's important for these procedures to be carried out by qualified dental professionals who can assess the individual's specific needs and tailor the treatment accordingly.
How long should a patient wear the Clench Relief Mouth Piece?
The Clench Relief mouth guard is designed for short-term use, typically up to 3 months. However, it can be worn for longer periods if necessary, but it's recommended to check both the patient and the mouthpiece every 3 months. This ensures that the mouth guard continues to provide the desired relief and remains in good condition. The VPS (Vinyl Polysiloxane) material used in the mouth guard can be switched out at these intervals to maintain hygiene and functionality.If the Clench Relief Mouth Piece has been effective for the patient and they wish to continue wearing a mouth guard for long-term use, the dentist can then consider transitioning the patient to a long-term lab-generated orthotic that holds the patient in a similar jaw position The dentist will assess the patient's needs and recommend the appropriate course of action for continued TMD treatment and management. Regular follow-ups and adjustments may also be necessary to ensure the orthotic continues to meet the patient's requirements.
Can I can take a bite registration for my lab with Clench Relief Mouthpiece frame and alignment guide for restorative prosthodontics?
Yes, you can take a bite registration using the Clench Relief Mouth Piece. Whether you choose to use the frame with or without the alignment guide depends on the specific needs of the patient and the type of restorative or comprehensive dental treatment being planned.Using the Frame with Alignment Guide:
1-If the patient has any history of clenching, grinding, or TMJ issues, then the Clench Relief Alignment Guide is integral to achieving the desired jaw position and comfort, you can use the mouthpiece with the alignment guide to take a bite registration. We advise doing a phase 1 fixed “trial bite” orthotic first in this bite position and allowing the patient to “test drive” it before going to final porcelain restorations. This will ensure that the new bite location is comfortable with muscles and joint are in the optimum position.
Using the Frame without Alignment Guide:
1-If the patient's focus is on restorative or comprehensive dental treatment, and the specific jaw position enforced by the alignment guide is not required for the procedure, you can use the Clench Relief Mouth Piece Frame without the alignment guide to take a bite registration.
2-You can also remove or cut some of the plastic lattices in-between the molar pads of the frame so that the patient can touch their own teeth together and remain in CO during the bite registration.
It's important to communicate with the patient and understand their treatment goals and dental concerns before deciding whether to use the alignment guide during the bite registration process. Additionally, consulting with the restorative dentist or prosthodontist who will be performing the comprehensive dental treatment can help in determining the most appropriate approach for taking the bite registration with the Clench Relief Mouth Piece.
Does insurance cover the Clench Relief Mouthpiece since its an FDA cleared RX prescription only Mouthpiece for TMJ,
Yes! The Clench Relief Mouthpiece is is an FDA cleared medical device for TMJ, head aches and muscle tension and can be billed to dental insurance companies for reimbursement.
How do I keep my Clench Relief Mouthpiece Clean?
We recommend cleaning the Clench Relief Mouthpiece with just water and a tooth brush. Just gently brush the entire mouth piece. and thats it. After 3 months, you can swap out the Clench Relief Fit Material and replace with a fresh new set..
