Interventions
BEHAVIORAL

Educational video combined with daily surveys

Participants will receive the same educational intervention as those in the other arm and will also undergo an ecological momentary assessment (EMA) intervention. This will involve receiving multiple messages per day on their mobile phones, each linking to an online survey designed to capture real-time data on their current oral behaviors. The intervention aims to increase participants' awareness of these behaviors by prompting them to reflect on and report them throughout the day.

BEHAVIORAL

Educational video only

"Participants will be provided with an educational video on recognizing and managing oral behaviors such as clenching, prolonged tooth contact, and keeping the jaw tense, etc.~The goal is to increase awareness and promote behavior change to reduce strain to the masticatory muscles and the temporomandibular joint."
