High-Tech mouthguards aim to stop teeth grinding pain
NCT ID NCT07364552
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether custom mouthguards (splints) designed using a 3D jaw-tracking device called MODJAW work better than standard mouthguards for people with teeth grinding (bruxism) or jaw pain. 40 adults with mild-to-moderate symptoms wore either a personalized or standard splint for 8 weeks. Researchers measured jaw movement, pain levels, and comfort to see if the high-tech approach improves outcomes.
