Myofunctional therapy for teeth grinding – Sustainable therapeutic success begins with automation
Kieferfreund as the digital complement for dentists, orthodontists, speech therapists, and physiotherapists
Many patients receive excellent treatment. They learn the correct tongue resting position, nasal breathing, or functional exercises—and yet, problems often return.
Why? – Because new movement and breathing patterns don’t become automatic in everyday life and during sleep.
This is precisely where the Jaw Regulation Method comes in.
Kieferfreund supports your patients between therapy appointments and helps them permanently integrate the correct tongue resting position, nasal breathing, and jaw relaxation into their daily lives.

Closing the Myofunctional therapy success gap
KNOWLEDGE ALONE
DOESN’T CHANGE HABITS
The biggest challenge is rarely in the treatment itself.
It begins after you leave your practice.
Patients often know:
- how the tongue should be positioned
- how nasal breathing works
- which exercises would be beneficial
However, under stress or during sleep, the brain automatically reverts to old movement and behavior patterns.
The result is relapses, poor compliance, and a lack of long-term success.
The Jaw Regulation Method was developed to close precisely this therapy success gap.
The Jaw Regulation Method
SCIENTIFICALLY BASED
HOLISTIC
PRACTICAL
The Jaw Regulation Method was developed by Julia Reindl, speech therapist and oral and maxillofacial therapist, and forms the scientific basis of the Kieferfreund Training Program.
She combines over 15 years of experience in jaw therapy with current findings from orofacial myofunctional therapy, breathing therapy, neuroplasticity, habit research, stress management, and mental training.
The focus is not only on learning the correct function, but also on automating it.
The Jaw Regulation Method combines two areas:
BODY
- Tongue rest position
- Nasal breathing
- Jaw function
- Posture
- Fascia
- Movement patterns
MIND
- Habit change
- Mental training
- Stress regulation
- Nervous system
- Jaw meditations
- Integration into everyday life
Because lasting changes only occur when new movement patterns become unconscious and automatic.
Today, Julia Reindl trains professionals worldwide in the Jaw Regulation Method.
Why Kieferfreund?
Since 2015, Kieferfreund has been supporting people with TMD, bruxism, snoring, and orofacial dysfunctions.
Today, the program
- has been successfully used for over 10 years
- offered in German and English
- used by patients worldwide
- continuously developed scientifically
- Kieferfreund combines digital patient support with a structured methodology so that patients can continue training even outside of your practice.
For which patients is Kieferfreund suitable?
Kieferfreund complements your therapy for conditions including:
- TMJ disorder (TMD)
- Bruxism (teeth grinding)
- Snoring
- Mouth breathing
- myofunctional disorders
- orofacial dysfunctions
- temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders
- Head and neck pain
- functional tongue disorders
The app helps patients integrate therapy content into their daily lives and prevent relapses.
I work as a freelance speech therapist and treat children with myofunctional disorders, among other things. I almost always see how difficult it is for parents to actually perform the necessary exercises with their children every day, and above all, correctly! I think the Junior app supports the correct execution of the exercises, and its structured design makes daily practice with their children easier for parents. A great thing!
The ideal complement to splint therapy and dentosophy
DEVICE CHANGES POSITION
HABITS CHANGE FUNCTION
Whether it’s a bite splint, Michigan splint, balancer, or Dentosophy – therapeutic devices support the structures.
However, for long-term therapeutic success, function must also be trained.
Kieferfreund helps patients to:
- automate the physiological resting tongue position
- establish nasal breathing permanently
- reduce jaw clenching and other habits
- relax the masticatory muscles
- maintain new movement patterns even without the device
This effectively complements the functional effect of splints and balancers.
Optimal Support After Frenulotomy
Functional aftercare is crucial for the success of a tongue-tie release.
Kieferfreund supports patients after a frenulotomy by:
- Mobilizing the tongue
- Improving mobility
- Automating the new resting tongue position
- Integrating nasal breathing
- Exercises for everyday life and sleep
This ensures that the newly gained mobility is used functionally in the long term.
Prevention Begins in Childhood
KIEFERFREUND KIDS
With the new children’s version, children playfully learn to:
- automate the correct resting tongue position
- nasal breathing
- mouth closure
- healthy movement habits from an early age.
The exercises are taught through stories, games, and the mascot Jaro (the Jaguar) and support healthy oral and jaw development.
Ideal as a supplement to speech therapy, orthodontics, and pediatric dentistry.
