6 Reasons People With Night Guards Are Trying This Instead
A night guard guards your teeth. It does not stop your jaw squeezing. Nobody tells you that part.
Still wake up with a sore jaw? Even with a night guard?
You are not doing it wrong. And it is not stress.
You are treating the wrong spot.
It goes on the muscle. Not in your mouth.
One muscle closes your jaw. It sits right in front of your ear. That muscle does the squeezing.
A night guard just puts plastic between your teeth. It stops them wearing down. The muscle still squeezes just as hard.
Daily Jaw Relief is a roll-on. You put it right on the muscle. Nothing goes in your mouth.
The FDA lists menthol and camphor as active ingredients for pain you rub on the skin.
21 CFR Part 348.
Federal rules. Not our claim.
You clench at 2pm too. Not just at night.
Check your jaw right now. Are your teeth touching?
They should not be. Most people clench all day and never notice.
By bedtime your jaw has been tight for hours. Night is not where it starts. It is where it ends.
You cannot wear a night guard at your desk. You can use a roll-on.
Doctors who study clenching split it in two. One kind happens in your sleep. One happens while you are awake. They are not the same thing.

The roller is made for your jaw.
Menthol is everywhere. Most of it is made for backs and knees.
This is a steel ball on a small glass bottle. It fits your jaw.
Bite down. Feel the bump in front of your ear? That is the muscle. Roll over it a few times. Both sides. Ten seconds.
Your night guard was never going to fix this.
This is the part that costs $600. Nobody explains it.
A night guard protects. That is all it does. It takes the damage so your teeth do not.
It does not make your jaw squeeze less. It never did.
Keep it if you grind hard. Just stop waiting for it to loosen anything.
A large review looked at night guards for grinding. It found no strong proof they make you grind less. They do help protect teeth.

Review of the science. Not our claim.
Look at a night guard after six months.
It sits in your mouth all night. Every night.
It goes cloudy. It picks up a smell. You have to scrub it and soak it.
This never goes in your mouth. There is nothing to clean.
You roll it on your skin and put the cap back on.
30 days. And you keep the bottle.
Use it every day for a month. If your jaw does not feel better, email us. We refund you. You keep the bottle.
We will not say it cures TMJ. It does not. Anyone who says that is lying to you.
Here is what it does. It goes cool. The tight feeling backs off. You stop noticing your jaw for a while.
For most people, that was enough.
Ten seconds to roll it on. Thirty days to decide.
If it does not help, you get your money back. And you keep the bottle.
