A Feasibility Study of the Bruxoff™ Device to Assess EMG Activity in Subjects Diagnosed With Sleep Bruxism Using TMJ NextGeneration(TM)

The study is an open-label, prospective, single-center, non-randomized feasibility study of
the Bruxoff(TM) device to identify EMG activity associated with bruxism, and to assess the
impact of the TMJ NextGeneration(TM) device upon the occurrence of night-time bruxism events
and incidence of migraines and headache in subjects diagnosed with sleep bruxism.

The study will be conducted at one study center in the U.S. Subjects will be enrolled in the
trial for a period of 8 weeks. The study will consist of a screening phase lasting up to 2
weeks and a follow up treatment period lasting 8 weeks. Subjects will visit the dental
clinic twice during the screening period, then five times during the treatment period.

canal that does not allow for the ear canal second turn to be identified;

6. Subjects with visible or congenital ear deformity as observed on targeted physical
exam;

7. Subjects whose ear canal anatomy does not allow for fit of the study device;

8. Subjects who have a history of ear pain unrelated to TMJ;

9. Subjects who have a history of ear drainage in the past 6 months;

10. Subjects who have active ear drainage, swelling, or redness as observed on targeted
