The Science Behind the CRAG
A Innovative Approach to TMJ Relief and Bite Positioning
The Clench Relief® Alignment Guide (CRAG) is a patented breakthrough in TMJ and bruxism treatment. Unlike traditional appliances that rely on subjective patient positioning or require time-consuming adjustments, the CRAG ensures a precise, repeatable lower jaw alignment—resulting in reduced tension, inflammation relief, and faster healing.
- Predictable & Consistent Results
- No Occlusal Adjustments Needed
- Faster, More Efficient Treatment
Why CRAG is a Game-Changer for TMJ Precision Therapy
PRECISION JAW ALIGNMENT FOR MUSCLE RELAXATION
Traditional mouthguards don’t account for proper jaw positioning— but the CRAG does.
- Guides the lower jaw down and forward into a natural, relaxed position
- Helps relax overactive jaw muscles and reduce clenching & grinding
- Supports proper bite alignment, minimizing tension & stress on the TMJ
Clinical Insight: During fabrication, the patient gently bites on the alignment guide to ensure optimal jaw centering above the anterior wear facets.
BUILT-IN STABILITY FOR A SECURE FIT
Many appliances shift during fabrication, leading to poor fit and occlusal interferences. CRAG eliminates this problem by:
- Holding the lower jaw in position while the PVS sets
- Ensuring posterior stability while allowing the PVS to naturally adapt
- Preventing anterior teeth interference, creating a stable, relaxed bite
Why This Matters: No shifting. No misalignment. Just a perfectly captured bite.
IMMEDIATE OCCLUSAL BALANCE- NO ADJUSTMENTS NEEDED
Unlike lab-made devices that require post-fitting grinding and refinement, the CRAG ensures automatic occlusal balance:
- Only posterior molars remain in contact
- Eliminates anterior interference
- Ensures a stable, natural bite from Day 1
Dentist Benefit: No need to make post-fitting occlusal adjustments—saving chair time and ensuring predictable results.
Why Dentists Trust the CRAG
ACCURATE JAW POSITIONING IN MINUTES. No need for complex bite registrations or lengthy chairside adjustments.
ELIMINATES GUESSWORK. The CRAG ensures repeatable, predictable results every time.
PATIENT COMFORT & COMPLIANCE. A natural fit means higher wear rates and better clinical outcomes.
COMPARABLE TO LAB-MADE ORTHOTICS. The design and shape of the final orthotic mirror high-end custom lab appliances, making it a cost-effective alternative for patients and providers.
