Stop jaw tension – Scientifically-backed jaw training program, featuring an app, personalised support, and targeted fascia training
Kieferfreund offers a scientifically backed training program for children and adults dealing with teeth grinding, jaw clenching, temporomandibular joint disorder, jaw tension, and snoring.
Central to this approach is the Kieferfreund App featuring the Jaw Regulation Method, a structured training plan that guides you step by step in restoring balance to your jaw system.
Unlike traditional solutions, Kieferfreund does not rely on passive wear of bite splints or appliances during the night. Instead, you will learn to actively regulate your jaw without any plastic in your mouth.
More than just jaw tension exercises, Kieferfreund offers a comprehensive training program
In this video, Julia demonstrates how Kieferfreund can effectively help you relieve your jaw of tension in a sustainable way.
As the founder of the Jaw Regulation Method and a speech therapist with over 15 years of experience in jaw therapy, Julia has a personal understanding of temporomandibular joint disorders, having once been affected by them herself.
Jaw issues often arise not only from tense chewing muscles or jaw joint problems
Jaw problems are closely linked to:
- Tongue function and position
- Nasal breathing
- Stress
- Body posture
- Movement patterns
- Unconscious habits in everyday life
This is precisely where the Jaw Regulation Method comes in.
With the Kieferfreund app, you don’t just practice individual exercises – you learn step by step how to integrate healthy movement and breathing patterns into your daily life and automate them permanently. Because lasting change doesn’t come from more knowledge, but from new habits.
Why Your Jaw Stores Stress?
The jaw is one of the first areas of the body to react to stress. Many people unconsciously clench their teeth, grind them at night, or tense their jaw muscles—often without even realizing it.
The consequences can be varied: jaw tension, temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMD), headaches, neck pain, facial pain, or a feeling of inner tension.
Expressions like “to grit one’s teeth,” or “to be dogged” show how closely our jaw is connected to our emotional burden.
Studies show that jaw-related complaints have increased significantly since the pandemic. Chronic stress, tension, and lack of rest are often directly reflected in the oral and maxillofacial system.
Relaxing the jaw means more than just loosening muscles. At Kieferfreund, we don’t just treat the physical symptoms. Our approach combines targeted exercises for the jaw, tongue, and body with breathing exercises, mental techniques, and guided jaw meditations.
Because persistent jaw clenching is often rooted in unconscious patterns such as holding on, persevering, controlling, or suppressing emotions. That’s why we support you in sustainably regulating not only your jaw, but also your nervous system.
Guided jaw meditations with experienced meditation coach Felix help you release stress, find inner peace, and make your jaw feel lighter day by day.
Real people, real successes
Jaw Tension and Jaw Clicking – I no longer need to wear my night time splint!
After discovering I was grinding my teeth about two years ago, the dentist gave me a splint to wear at night. Within a year I had chewed my way through it!
So he gave me a ‘belt and braces’ version which just made me bite on it more and gave me a seriously painful jaw with limited movement and regular headaches in the mornings. Of course it stopped me damaging my teeth but was irritating the situation not curing it.
So I decided to do some research online and that’s when I discovered Kieferfreund. I have been practicing this for just over a month now and I no longer need to wear my night time splint.
My jaw is much freer in movement and far less painful. Still more work to do but it’s certainly in the right direction. Although the exercises do not take long to do, if I run out of time, I just make sure I do the night time relaxation.
At first I thought I could never overcome this problem, but now I have seen so much improvement that I am not going back!
The App has worked wonders!
Great product! I wasn’t too sure what to expect but it has worked wonders! In combination with the app, after a week my jaw pain was significantly reduced and after 2 weeks, no jaw pain and I stopped grinding my teeth. If you suffer from teeth grinding and jaw pain, I highly recommend Kieferfreund!
Always get support when I need it!
When you start to notice some improvements, this gives you a motivating push. After 2 weeks I noticed that my jaw was relaxed almost all the time and my tongue was where it should be. I also think it is great that I can always get support when I need it. Recently I got an update with many new exercises. I now have even more motivation to do the exercises! I recommend anyone with jaw problems to try out this app!
The building blocks for a relaxed jaw – focusing on sustainable solutions rather than short-term fixes

Tackling the symptoms of jaw tension and jaw clicking
And you get to step out of this painful jaw cycle!
I am very grateful that there are people who are so concerned with this problem that there is now effective help available. No orthopaedist, physiotherapist, chiropractor or alternative practitioner has been able to help me so far (I wonder if they took my problem seriously at all). The pressure of suffering is painful, with daily tensions, headaches, back pain, everyone who’s affected will know this very well – one invests a lot of time and money into every attempt to get help. With Kieferfreund, you notice something changing after just a few days. Immediately after the exercises, I noticed that the muscles of the jaw were “pulling”, often up to the eyes. The exercises in the app are very easy to follow. You only have to take these 20 minutes a day for yourself and integrate the training into your everyday life. To do something good for yourself. After a few days, you already have the first successes, which is such a motivating and happy feeling! Something is finally changing, and you get to step out of this painful cycle. I can only recommend everyone to give it a go. Many thanks to the team at Kieferfreund. You guys are great!
Ideal as a complement to balancers, Dentosophy appliances, and dental splints
If you already wear a balancer, a Dentosophy appliance (Dentosophy), or a dental splint, Kieferfreund is the perfect complement to your treatment. While appliances can support the jaw, the muscles and tongue must learn to remain in a relaxed position even without aids.
In this way, Kieferfreund helps to automate the correct tongue resting position and a relaxed jaw in the long term – for lasting therapeutic success.
Unlock 7 days of free access to the app
Why are tongue training and the optimal tongue resting position important for jaw relaxation?
The Kieferfreund app empowers you to engage in the Jaw Yoga training program independently, eliminating the need for professional assistance. By dedicating just 30 minutes each day, you will begin to feel a renewed sense of well-being and enjoy an enhanced quality of life.
Wondering how to stop jaw tension, jaw clicking and grinding your teeth? We have developed a series of guided videos, animations, and checklists packed with valuable medical and therapeutic insights. With the app, you can follow the training program at your convenience, wherever you are.
Simply train on your own and track your progress within the app. This level of flexibility and user-friendliness makes it easy to incorporate the app into your daily routine to overcome jaw tension and jaw clicking.
Did you know?
The tongue can only rest comfortably against the palate when the lips are closed and breathing through the nose is controlled. Therefore, breathing, tongue resting position, and jaw function are inextricably linked.
The correct tongue posture is crucial to get rid of jaw tension and jaw clicking!

The Kieferfreund exercise programme has completely convinced me!
As the exercises do not take up much time, they were perfect for my everyday life. I managed to do the training every evening.
After 3 weeks, I already had first successes and the tensions became noticeably less!
The fascia roller had the greatest effect!
This small, handy roller worked wonders for relieving my jaw tensions!
Day after day, the adhesions decreased, the tissue softened and the roller could be moved “more fluidly” over the areas. The self-massages I had been doing with the roller soon showed their effect – my tensions have now almost completely disappeared!
Even the cracking in the jaw joint is gone most of the time!
As soon as I feel that my tensions are getting worse, I take the roller and massage these spots.
The fascia roller has completely convinced me. I can’t see myself without it! It has found its permanent place in my bathroom so that I can use it again and again. The Kieferfreund app has also become my constant companion. These days I only do the exercises as and when I feel I need them. The mental training still lets me fall into a relaxed sleep almost every day.
I knew I had found something incredibly special!
I have had TMJ joint dysfunction for more than 50 years. During Covid it got worse and I felt sick of living with pain. I had corrective surgery in my early 30’s due to problems with my jaw and tongue posture and feared that maybe I would need further corrective surgery if the pain continues. I have never had a day without feeling pain despite doing all kinds of relaxation and wearing a guard on my teeth at night to prevent grinding and clenching.
In desperation I searched online – the multidimensional approach of the Kieferfreund method to jaw problems really impressed me and made sense of what has been a life long problem that probably begun through a not correct tongue posture and mouth breathing. The Kieferfreund team provide excellent guidance and support which helps to navigate doing the exercises and following the approach. I bought the premium package as a New Years treat for 2022.
Within 3 days of using the Kieferfreund app, fascia roller and tongue placement guide and relaxation/ jaw exercises my pain has almost entirely gone away. I have been doing the programme every evening. Kieferfreund has given me such a sense of wellbeing not only as I am now not living with chronic pain but also that I now have some mastery over what I thought was something I just had to put up with for the rest of my life. I used to wake up from sleep feeling like I had gone through World War 3 inside my mouth, with my jaw aching and my face hurting. Now my whole head feels more relaxed on waking, I feel so much more rested from sleep and sleep deeper – the relaxation guide included with the app is wonderful and really works. I am a very happy customer.
I really enjoy doing the movements and find it very relaxing and interesting too. Kieferfreund is a true Jaw Friend – thank you. I would recommend this approach to anyone with jaw pain.
Relax your jaw – naturally and sustainably
A relaxed jaw starts with two simple foundations: the correct tongue resting position and relaxed jaw muscles. This is precisely where Kieferfreund comes in.
With Kieferfreund app, you’ll learn step by step how your tongue rests comfortably against the roof of your mouth and how to relax your jaw throughout the day and at night. Short, easy-to-understand exercises accompany you daily and help you establish new habits permanently.
The unique aspect: You don’t just train during the exercises – you automate the correct tongue position and jaw relaxation for the entire day.
Breathe Correctly – For a Relaxed Jaw
Relaxed jaw muscles begin with proper breathing. Those who frequently breathe through their mouth cannot keep their tongue in its natural resting position against the roof of their mouth. This often leaves the jaw tense – even if mouth breathing only occurs occasionally, for example, at night.
Stress also alters our breathing: it becomes faster and shallower. This can further increase jaw tension and contribute to problems such as teeth grinding, jaw clenching, or snoring.
Take the Self-Test
Time yourself for one minute and count your breaths.
More than 8 breaths per minute in complete relaxation? Then it’s worth taking a closer look at your breathing – especially if you also suffer from teeth grinding, jaw clenching, snoring, or jaw tension.
With the 21-day program from Kieferfreund, you’ll learn step by step how to promote nasal breathing, calm your breathing, and automate the correct resting tongue position. This is how you create the foundation for a relaxed jaw – day and night.
