BruxApp
WHAT IS BRUXAPP?
BruxApp is the first globally available, research-based smartphone app dedicated to the study and management of Bruxism and its health consequences.
Designed by top international experts in a multi-center Bruxism research project and developed in 25 Research Centres across the world.
WHAT CAN IT DO?
Bruxapp is a simple tool used by dentists and patients for several purposes:
- To help dentists to diagnose the possible presence/absence of bruxism-related activities (i.e., teeth clenching or grinding, jaw clenching) and potential consequences
- For rating the severity of bruxism, if present
- As a biofeedback-based therapeutic tool for bruxism
- To increase patients’ awareness of bruxism activities so they can avoid or correct negative habits
- To promote cutting-edge knowledge about bruxism, based on the latest scientific research
- To make patients aware of the possible clinical consequences of bruxism and try to prevent them
WHY is BruxApp needed?
Bruxism has been increasing in prevalence over recent years. It encompasses motor activities of the jaw muscles, such as jaw or teeth clenching, and teeth grinding, some of which may be associated with clinical signs and symptoms, like tooth wear, failed dental restorations, complications with implant-supported prosthesis, muscle fatigue and temporomandibular joint pain. A correct diagnosis is therefore fundamental to establishing early prevention and management regimens.
SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH
Studies with BruxApp have been supervised by experts, as part of an ongoing multicenter research project on bruxism epidemiology and management coordinated by Prof. Daniele Manfredini, University of Siena, Italy.
DEVELOPMENT
The app was developed by Goran Djukic, program analyst at the Institute of Clinical Physiology, National Council of Research, University of Pisa, Italy.
BruxApp is currently available in the following languages: English, Italian, Portuguese, German, Spanish, French, Dutch, Finnish, Brazilian, Japanese, Hebrew, Chinese, Arabic, Polish, Romanian, Norwegian, Lithuanian, Bosnian,Croatian and Turkish with another 8 language versions soon to be released.

good idea. but is collecting the wrong data. would be much more useful if i could rate pain from 0 to 10 several times per day. and take a few simple notes per day regarding posture, diet, stress, anxiety, sleep etc...
After using this app for a few weeks my jaw pain disappeared, this really works! Highly recommend. The notifications to relax your jaw muscles are a brilliant idea
Probably a good App but not compatible withe the Fair Phone 3 I managed to get one time a notification but never again. I tried all the trouble shooting steps but none helped Please add the compatibility
After the notification, I don't get a pop up to enter my data despite having everything installed correctly. Very unfortunate.
App is not compatible with Android 11. If you have a newer phone there is no way to use the app...
Opens randomly by itself.Useless.Re your reply.A app that force opens when texting,emailing,Doing anything is useless.You are damaging your own reputation for allowing this
Doesn't work properly on Android. No notifications/alert that pops up
Edit:. App now functioning correctly on my phone, thanks
Forces itself open al the time.junk.uninstalled
Please please update to Android 11+. I need this.
Spot on. Going to attach a screenshot from my phone if I can later but the knowledge is 100% correct, it's the first app that actually shows a photo of proper teeth spacing, and doesn't give any fluff. This is a tool made by someone who wanted to really help people. A true: Doctor ENgineer arTIST DENTIST :) Thank you for caring so much about us patients!
