How to Track Progress With Reviv (HRV, Tension Logs, Snoring Scores)

You’re wearing your Reviv Mouthguard.
You feel better.
Less tension, better sleep, less clenching.

But how do you prove it’s working?

If you're serious about your health—or you're a data nerd like many of our users—you’ll want to track your progress with Reviv using real, measurable markers.

In this post, I’ll walk you through the exact ways to track outcomes using:

✅ HRV (Heart Rate Variability)
✅ Tension and symptom logs
✅ Snoring and airway data
✅ Posture and alignment feedback
✅ And the one "mirror test" most people overlook

Let’s turn your jaw recovery into a trackable system.

1. HRV: The Nervous System Score That Doesn’t Lie

HRV (Heart Rate Variability) is the gold standard for measuring nervous system recovery.

Why it matters:
TMJ dysfunction, clenching, and jaw tension are all tied to sympathetic overdrive (fight-or-flight mode).

What Reviv does:
By decompressing the jaw and calming trigeminal nerve input, it helps your body shift into parasympathetic (rest and digest) mode.

What to track:

• HRV increase → shows nervous system calming
  
  
• RHR decrease → better overnight recovery
  
  
• Sleep latency decrease → easier to fall asleep
  

Where to track it:

• Oura Ring
  
  
• Whoop
  
  
• Apple Health + HRV apps
  
  
• Garmin / Fitbit

2. Tension Log: The 2-Minute Journal That Changes Everything

Not everything needs to be high-tech.

Create a simple daily tension tracker using:

What you’ll notice over 2–3 weeks:

• Reduced clenching on waking
  
  
• Headaches fade
  
  
• TMJ popping decreases
  
  
• Sleep scores go up
  

👉 You can also use apps like:

• Daylio
  
  
• Notion
  
  
• Apple Notes
  
  
• Journal apps with sliders
  

3. Snoring Scores: Breathing = Alignment

Jaw alignment influences:

• Tongue posture
  
  
• Airway openness
  
  
• Mouth vs nasal breathing
  

With Reviv, the jaw rests forward, allowing:

• Better nasal flow
  
  
• Less vibration = less snoring
  

Track it with:

• SnoreLab
  
  
• Sleep Cycle
  
  
• Whoop/Oura audio features (if enabled)
  

Look for:

• Snoring minutes reduced
  
  
• Less "intense" snoring
  
  
• Decrease in sleep disturbances
  

Bonus: Combine with mouth tape + nasal strips for amplified results.

4. Posture & Jawline Alignment: Use the 30-Day Selfie Test

Facial symmetry shifts gradually.
You might not see it daily—but over time, the difference is real.

Try this:

• Take a neutral-face photo on Day 1, Day 15, and Day 30
  
  
• Relax your face and don’t smile
  
  
• Take it from the same angle, with same lighting
  

Look for:

• More lifted cheekbones
  
  
• Evenness between sides
  
  
• Sharper jawline
  
  
• Reduced masseter puffiness

5. Jaw Tension Triggers: Note the Pattern

Use your phone notes to log:

• Times of day you clench
  
  
• What you were doing (email? scrolling? arguing?)
  
  
• Whether Reviv helped reduce it faster afterward
  

This will help you identify behavioral triggers and optimize:

• When to wear your daytime Reviv
  
  
• When to breathe/stretch instead
  
  
• When posture and mood dip

6. Track Fit Quality Over Time

Since Reviv is remoldable, keep a log:

• Day of first mold
  
  
• Any fit changes
  
  
• When you remolded
  
  
• Any symptom changes post-remold
  

This gives you data to know:

• When your bite is shifting
  
  
• When tension is resolving
  
  
• If you’re ready for a new guard

Make your own 5-point tracker:

Max = 10

Try to beat your score each week.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: How long until I see results with Reviv?
Most users feel relief in 3–7 nights. Facial and sleep changes typically emerge within 2–4 weeks.

Q2: Can I use Reviv with Oura or Whoop?
Yes. Watch for changes in HRV, sleep latency, REM and deep sleep. Many users see noticeable improvement in recovery scores.

Q3: Do I need to track with an app?
No, but it helps. Even a paper log gives valuable feedback.

Q4: Can I track results if I’m also using mouth tape or other tools?
Yes—just note what else you're using. Stacking sleep tools is effective if done intentionally.

Q5: When should I remold Reviv?
 If your fit feels off, or tension returns, or after bodywork—remold to match your current jaw position.
