## Guides
- [The Resting Jaw Position](https://daytime-jaw-clenching.wipimatu.workers.dev/resting-jaw-position/): The resting jaw position is the relaxed posture in which your lips are closed, your teeth are slightly apart and your tongue rests gently in your mouth.
- [Reminders That Help You Unclench](https://daytime-jaw-clenching.wipimatu.workers.dev/reminders-to-unclench/): Reminders to unclench work by interrupting an automatic habit, so the best ones are simple, visible and varied enough that you do not tune them out.
- [Screen Posture and Jaw Tension](https://daytime-jaw-clenching.wipimatu.workers.dev/screen-posture-jaw/): Screen posture and jaw tension are linked in practice: a head pushed forward and shoulders hunched often go along with a tighter jaw.
- [Using a Warm Compress for a Tight Jaw](https://daytime-jaw-clenching.wipimatu.workers.dev/warm-compress-jaw/): A warm compress held against the jaw muscles for a short stretch can leave a tight jaw feeling looser, mostly by easing muscle tension and calming the area.
- [When Jaw Tension Needs a Professional](https://daytime-jaw-clenching.wipimatu.workers.dev/when-to-see-a-professional-jaw/): Jaw tension that is brief and eases with rest is common, but certain signs mean it is time to ask someone trained to look at it.
