If you’ve been dealing with TMJ pain—tightness, clenching, or jaw clicking, you’ve probably come across dozens of so-called solutions. Most of them are over-the-counter mouthguards, claiming quick relief without much explanation. But when your jaw hurts every day, guessing isn’t good enough.
That’s where Clench Relief Inc. (CRI) can help. Our mouthpiece is an FDA-cleared medical-grade TMJ device, only available with a prescription. That clearance isn’t just a label. It’s a sign that the device has gone through rigorous safety checks and meets medical standards.
But what does FDA clearance actually mean? And how does it make CRI’s device different from everything else on the shelf? Discover why FDA clearance matters when comparing treatment options.
What FDA Clearance Means—and Why It Matters
FDA clearance means a medical device has been evaluated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and determined to be safe and effective for its intended use.
The CRI Clench Relief® Pro Rx Mouthpiece holds FDA 510(k) clearance as a Class II medical device , specifically designed for the short-term treatment of temporomandibular disorder (TMD) pain. It also helps relieve related symptoms like headaches, teeth grinding ( bruxism ), and muscle tension in the jaw, head, and neck.
FDA clearance is not the same as FDA approval. Approval is generally reserved for high-risk, Class III devices such as implants or surgical instruments. Clearance, on the other hand, applies to lower-risk devices that still treat medical conditions, and must still meet strict safety and performance standards.
FDA 510(k) clearance is a key differentiator in a market full of boil-and-bite guards and unregulated devices. It confirms that the Clench Relief® Pro Rx Mouthpiece has been reviewed against established medical benchmarks and isn’t just another off-the-shelf product making unverified claims.
How Clench Relief, Inc.’s FDA-Cleared Device Stands Out
Unlike store-bought mouthguards, the CRI Clench Relief® Pro Rx Mouthpiece is a prescription device developed specifically to address the muscle-related causes of TMD pain.
This targeted functionality is a key reason the device earned FDA 510(k) clearance—it’s designed not just to cushion the teeth, but to address jaw tension and related symptoms at their source.
The patented design is built around clinical insight into how and where clenching pressure develops. Each component—the shape, polyvinyl siloxane material, and positioning—was evaluated during the FDA review to confirm it performs as intended.
That includes everything from how it interacts with muscle groups to how the material holds up under repeated use.
Because it’s a prescription-backed oral appliance , the fit and use are tailored to your condition. There’s no need to guess which size to try or whether it’s safe to wear overnight. It’s designed to work as a medical device, not a one-size-fits-all solution.
Prescription Backing: Why It Changes Everything
Getting a Clench Relief® Pro Rx Mouthpiece starts with a prescription because treating TMJ properly isn’t something you can figure out on your own. The process begins with a licensed provider who evaluates your symptoms, confirms the need for a device, and prescribes the patented prescription TMJ solution if it’s the right fit for your case.
TMJ disorders vary from person to person, and the causes can include everything from muscle overuse to misalignment. A provider can determine whether a mouthpiece will help and how it should be used as part of your treatment. That kind of clinical guidance is crucial to making sure the device is effective and safe for your specific situation.
This personalized approach is what separates CRI’s device from the rest. Over-the-counter mouthguards usually don’t even offer temporary protection because they don’t address the root of the issue or account for how complex TMJ can be.
The Clench Relief® Pro Rx Mouthpiece is a superior alternative to over-the-counter mouthguards because it’s based on medical evaluation—not guesswork—and built to meet real therapeutic needs.
Safety and Durability: What FDA Clearance Protects You From
FDA 510(k) clearance includes more than a review of intended use. It covers FDA compliance and patient safety issues. The process examines materials, how the product is manufactured, and whether it holds up over time.
The Clench Relief® Pro Rx Mouthpiece meets these standards , with each component tested for biocompatibility and built to handle repeated clenching and grinding. It isn’t made for general protection—it’s built for the specific demands of TMJ treatment.
Clearance also confirms that every unit comes from a controlled, consistent manufacturing process. You’re not left guessing what’s in the device or how it performs. You know it’s been through a real safety review before you ever put it to use.
What About Effectiveness?
FDA clearance doesn’t guarantee that a device will work for every person, but it does confirm that the CRI Mouthpiece is safe and specifically intended to treat TMJ-related pain. That’s already a major difference from generic, over-the-counter guards.
What further reinforces its value is that doctors have already prescribed the Clench Relief® Pro Rx Mouthpiece to countless patients, with consistent outcomes. In qualitative testing, users reported average pain reduction from a 7 to a 3 on a 0–10 scale, pointing to meaningful relief.
While formal clinical trials are still forthcoming, early results and provider feedback continue to support its potential as a safe, non-invasive option for managing TMJ-related pain.
