Will Oralift help to stop clenching and grinding during day time and night time?
Oralift is designed and marketed as a cosmetic and general wellness device. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, or cure clenching, grinding (bruxism), or any other parafunctional habit.
Oralift is used during the daytime and is designed to support relaxed facial muscle function and increased awareness of unnecessary tooth contact. For this reason, some people who are conscious of clenching or grinding habits choose to use Oralift as part of a broader wellbeing routine focused on relaxation and habit awareness.
Parafunctional habits are repetitive behaviours involving the oral structures and may include clenching, grinding, tongue thrusting, nail biting, or habitual mouth breathing. These behaviours are often influenced by stress, posture, and daily routines.
Oralift does not replace mouthguards, orthodontic retainers, Botox, or any other dental or medical treatment. If you currently use, or have been advised to use, any of these interventions, you should continue to follow the guidance of your dentist or healthcare professional.
Some people find that becoming more aware of when their teeth touch during the day — and learning that tooth contact is not required for normal resting function — can be helpful. Simple techniques such as identifying daytime clenching patterns, using visual reminders, or practising relaxed swallowing may support general facial and jaw wellbeing.
People who clench often have very tense facial muscles and should introduce Oralift slowly and cautiously, paying close attention to comfort and signs of overuse. Wearing Oralift for longer does not necessarily provide additional benefit and may, in some cases, lead to discomfort.
Oralift is a supportive tool, not a standalone solution. If clenching or grinding is persistent, painful, or worsening — particularly at night — professional dental or medical advice should always be sought.
