## What is 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 the assessment  of the 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 management tool for bruxism.
- To increase patients’ awareness of bruxism activities so they can avoid or correct negative habits.
- To make patients aware of the possible clinical consequences of bruxism and try to prevent them.
- To promote cutting-edge knowledge about bruxism, based on the latest scientific research.

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, , French, Portuguese, German, Spanish, Dutch, Finnish, Brazilian, Japanese, Hebrew, Chinese, Arabic, Greek, Polish, Lithuanian, Bosnian, Romanian, Turkish, Norwegian, and Croatian, with another 4 language versions soon to be released. 

IMPORTANT STATEMENT
BruxApp is not a game or gadget.  In order for BruxApp to work correctly and be effective, please dedicate 5 minutes of your time to READING the simple instructions CAREFULLY. 

The full compatibility is guaranteed by iPhone 6 and higher ones and iOS 9.3 and higher ones.

### 1/5 — Pésima, molesta e inútil

*2025-06-16, version 2.5.8*

La usé durante 5 semanas y siempre dijo que los datos era insuficientes, quedo con trauma al escuchar la alarma que tiene. Un desperdicio de dinero.

### 1/5 — Why not updating this app with the new version

*2025-05-02*

I am Italian but I live in the U.K. and I have been trying to download the latest version of this app from the U.K app store, but seems like is only available on the Italian store. This version is not as good, doesn’t contain videos and have a good design like the latest version. Please fix this!!!

### 2/5 — Unable to finish entering data

*2024-03-28*

Been trying for two days to enter data when alert pops up. I get partway through and when trying to swipe/scroll across it closes and I’m unable to reopen to finish. Frustrating and wasting a lot of time

### 1/5 — Didn't deliver my Expectation

*2023-12-16*

too much manual inputs....  i need a refund please.

### 1/5 — No sirve

*2023-05-07, version 2.5.8*

Una perdida de plata. Envia las alertas cuando se le canta. Y nadie responde. Es un chamullo

### 2/5 — Doesn’t work

*2023-03-10, version 2.5.8*

It doesnt work

### 4/5 — Different language when displayed on watch

*2022-03-22*

Hey love the app, it’s really handy when it pops up on my watch. All of the options are in English but the message that comes up afterwards is in another language. There doesn’t seem to be a way to fix it.

### 1/5 — Не работают оповещения!

*2022-02-03*

Отвратительное приложение

### 2/5 — Not clear it’s only for awake bruxism

*2021-08-04*

Wish it was more clear it was for awake grinding. I have braces in right now and my daytime grinding is under control. Was looking for a nighttime aid and this isn’t it.

### 1/5 — No sirve de nada.

*2021-05-02, version 2.5.7*

Debí haber hecho caso de la única estrella que tenía. La use porque me la recomendaron y es un fiasco. Después de como una semana, no hay nada más!
