Understanding Traditional Biofeedback

Biofeedback is a technique that has been used for several years in the treatment of various disorders, including bruxism. Its basic principle is based on awareness and voluntary control of certain physiological functions.

How Biofeedback Works for Bruxism

1. Detection : Sensors are placed near the masticatory muscles to detect excessive muscle activity.

2. Notification : When bruxism activity is detected, the device emits a signal, usually audible or vibrating.

3. Awareness : The patient is alerted to their teeth grinding or clenching behavior.

4. Learning : Over time, the patient learns to recognize and consciously control this unwanted muscle activity.

Bruxless and the revolution of Functional Proprioceptive Stimulation (FPS)

Bruxless represents a major advancement in the treatment of bruxism thanks to its FPS technology. This innovative approach offers a more comprehensive and effective solution than traditional biofeedback.

Advanced operation of Bruxless

1. Precision Detection : Using advanced sensors to accurately identify bruxism episodes.

2. Active intervention : Instead of simply notifying, Bruxless intervenes directly by emitting calibrated Functional Proprioceptive Stimulations.

3. Targeted action on muscles : FPS acts specifically on the myotendinous junctions of the masseter muscles.

4. Immediate Muscle Relaxation : FPS vibrations create a sensation of movement that “tricks” the brain, resulting in instant relaxation of the muscles involved in bruxism.

5. Long-term neurorehabilitation : Regular use of Bruxless allows for true reeducation of the nervous system, gradually reducing the frequency and intensity of bruxism episodes.

Distinctive advantages of Bruxless compared to biofeedback

1. Effectiveness during sleep : Unlike biofeedback which requires a conscious reaction, Bruxless works effectively during sleep without disturbing the patient's rest.

2. Immediate intervention : SPFs work instantly to stop bruxism activity, providing immediate protection against potential damage.

3. Non-invasive approach : Stimulations are calibrated to be effective without being intrusive or disruptive to sleep.

4. Long-term treatment : Beyond immediate relief, Bruxless offers a perspective of lasting treatment of parafunction through neurorehabilitation.

5. Advanced customization : In the medium term, it is expected that the device will adapt to the specificities of each user, optimizing its efficiency over time.

6. Data Analysis : Bruxless collects and analyzes precise data on bruxism habits, allowing for detailed monitoring and personalized treatment adjustments.

Impact on health and well-being

Using Bruxless and its SPF technology offers significant benefits for oral health and general well-being:

Preservation of teeth : Reduction of tooth wear and the risk of fractures or cracks.

Pain Relief : Reduces jaw pain, headaches and muscle tension associated with bruxism.

Improved sleep : Better quality sleep through reduced bruxism episodes without disruption.

TMJ Disorder Prevention : Reduce the risk of developing temporomandibular joint problems.

Conclusion: Bruxless, a significant advance in the treatment of bruxism

While traditional biofeedback has paved the way for a technological approach to treating bruxism, Bruxless and its FPS technology represent a real leap forward. By combining precise detection, active intervention, and long-term neurorehabilitation, Bruxless offers a comprehensive and effective solution that clearly stands out from the competition.

The innovation brought by Bruxless Functional Proprioceptive Stimulations promises not only immediate relief from the symptoms of bruxism, but also the prospect of long-term treatment for this parafunction. For those seeking an advanced, non-invasive solution to teeth grinding, Bruxless stands out as the leading choice, combining cutting-edge technology with proven effectiveness.
