Tried a Mouthguard for Your TMJ and Your Jaw Still Hurts When You Eat?
I hand out mouthguards every week, and I see a lot of patients come back months later with the same complaint: their teeth are protected, but their jaw still aches every time they eat.
That's because for many of them, the pain was never coming from the joint.
It was coming from the masseter, the muscle they chew and clench with.
Here are 5 reasons why Orela is what I now recommend for that muscle, and exactly how my patients use it.
It Releases the Muscle Your Mouthguard Can't Reach
A mouthguard does one job well: it protects your teeth from grinding.
But your jaw still clenches just as hard behind it, so the muscle doing the clenching never gets a break.
When the masseter gets overworked, it tightens up to protect itself, and a tight muscle hurts more, so it tightens even harder until it forms knots.
Those knots send pain into your ear, your temple, and your teeth, and every bite you take works a muscle that's already knotted up.
The way to break that cycle is to release the muscle itself, which is why physical therapists use jaw massage.
Massaging the chewing muscle is one of the simplest things you can do for a tight jaw.
Orela brings that massage home, so you can do it every day instead of once a week.
It Cools, Calms, and Releases in One Roll
Most jaw products do one thing. Orela does three, and each step makes the next one work better.
Cool: The natural mint switches on the cold sensors in your skin, which helps quiet the ache. Natural mint cools the skin within seconds.
Calm: Tea tree oil soothes the skin around your jaw.
Release: The cool steel roller massages the masseter while you apply it, working the knot loose right where it sits.
Vitamin E and allantoin keep your skin comfortable, so you can use it several times a day.
The order matters. Once the ache quiets down, the muscle stops bracing, and that's when the massage can actually do its job.
It Does What Your Fingers and Tiger Balm Can't
A lot of my patients try rubbing their jaw with their fingers first.
The problem is that fingers give uneven pressure, they get tired fast, and most people stop the moment the spot gets tender, which is right before the knot would have let go.
A sore muscle also tends to tense up against pressure, so massaging it while it still aches often just makes it fight back.
Tiger Balm and other muscle rubs only handle the cooling. There's no massage and nothing for the inflammation, and they're greasy, strong-smelling balms most people don't want on their face at work.
Orela is a light serum that does all three at once, and it goes on clean enough to use at your desk.

The 60-Second Routine That Makes Eating Easier
This is the simple routine I give my patients.
Before each meal, find the spot just in front of your ear where your jaw muscle bulges when you clench.
Roll Orela there in small circles, working down toward the corner of your jaw, for about 30 seconds on each side.
Give the cooling a minute to settle in, then eat.
Do it again before bed, since that's when most people clench the hardest.
It fits in a purse or a desk drawer, so you can use it wherever the clenching starts.
It Costs Less Than One Physical Therapy Visit
A single physical therapy session can cost $75 to $150, and the clenching starts right back up the next day.
Orela is $29.99, and it's with you every day, before every meal.
And if it doesn't help, you get your money back with our 30-day guarantee.
