LOW-LEVEL LASER THERAPY

THERMAL THERAPY

Evidence-backed Therapy Systems.

We take a careful approach to claims.

Female waking up with relief from using Unclench to relief her TMD pain, bruxism, jaw grinding, jaw clenching and jaw tension

Unclench is a wellness device; we do not claim to diagnose, treat, or cure medical conditions.

What we do claim is:
The therapeutic modalities used in Unclench have existing research supporting their role in muscle relaxation and recovery.

Why jaw tension feels so persistent

Jaw tension is often driven by muscle overactivity—the masseter and temporalis muscles staying “on” longer than they should. For many people, that shows up as:

  • tightness and soreness

  • headaches or facial fatigue

  • sensitivity around the jaw

  • disrupted sleep and morning discomfort

Unclench is designed to support the opposite state: muscle relaxation and comfort, in a way that can be repeated daily.

Our Dual-Therapy System.

Unclench is developing a first-of-its-kind dual therapy system combining thermal therapy system (heat) and low-level laser therapy (LLLT).

01
Thermal Therapy

Heat provides immediate comfort and relaxation, making the session feel soothing and pain-relieving.

02
Low Level Laser Therapy

LLLT is a well-studied therapy for muscle recovery, supporting long-term healing.

03
Combined

Unclench combines controlled heat, along with low-level lasers, to deliver immediate pain relief with compounding deep restorative energy to the deeper, harder-to-reach muscles in the jaw.

Thermal Therapy

Unclench render from behind. Unclench is a first of its kind at home wearable for the management of bruxism, TMD, teeth grinding, jaw tension and jaw pain.

Thermal Therapy for Unclench is heat used for muscle relaxation and comfort

Heat therapy is one of the most established non-invasive approaches used in musculoskeletal care.

In general, superficial heat is used to support:

  • muscle relaxation and reduced stiffness

  • increased local circulation

  • improved comfort and movement

In the context of temporomandibular disorder (TMD) and jaw-muscle pain, reviews and clinical literature prove that heat is a conservative method to reduce pain and muscle tension and support jaw function.

How this translates to Unclench
Unclench uses controlled warmth designed to create a calm, comfortable experience—often the first sensation users notice during a session.

Heat is most reliably associated with short-term relief and comfort, particularly when used consistently as part of conservative care. Broader reviews of local heat note benefits for pain and physical function, while also noting that long-term effects can vary depending on condition and context.

Low-Level Laser Therapy

Low-Level Laser Therapy in Unclench provides deep relief and cumulative effects

Low-Level Light Therapy (often grouped under photobiomodulation) refers to using specific wavelengths of light at low intensity to support tissue comfort and recovery.

Across musculoskeletal applications, LLLT is studied for potential effects such as:

  • analgesic (pain-relieving) effects

  • management of inflammation

  • support for tissue repair processes

  • improved function in certain pain conditions

What the evidence says in jaw/TMD contexts

Systematic reviews in temporomandibular disorders show that LLLT is effective for pain relief and functional improvements.

There are also controlled studies demonstrating improvements in outcomes, such as pain measures and muscle activity markers.

How Unclench uses this responsibly
We refer to LLLT as an evidence-based modality and focus our consumer claims on supporting comfort and relaxation, rather than making clinical outcome claims.

Built for home use

A therapy is only useful if people are willing to do it consistently. Unclench is designed around:

  • comfort and wearability

  • consistent session length (15 minutes)

  • non-invasive, drug-free use

  • controlled heat application and safety systems

This is the design logic behind the system: make a solution usable in real life.

Transparent, not exaggerated

Unclench is not a medical device and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

We do not claim Unclench “treats” conditions. Instead, we:

  • use relevant research to back our systems

  • designed for safe, consistent use

  • continue to explore professional collaborations and validation

As the product evolves, we will endeavour to conduct further scientific research to ensure our products can provide the best healing ability.
