Meet the Team

Founder & Director
Traci Griffiths
Traci is a seasoned entrepreneur with a wealth of experience in start-up ventures. Over the past three decades, she has conceived, founded, and successfully managed multiple businesses. One notable achievement was Miyow and Barkley, a renowned pet accessory online and wholesale company in Australia. Under Traci's leadership, the brand thrived for over 15 years, supplying products to over 150 stores both domestically and internationally.
In addition to her entrepreneurial pursuits, Traci has a strong background in promoting health and well-being. She has worked as a paramedic, studied naturopathy, and practices Reiki.
Her personal struggle with bruxism led her to become disillusioned with the available products on the market. Motivated by her dissatisfaction, Traci combined her design skills, knowledge of health and well-being, and experience in setting up innovative companies to create Flossophy.
Traci's background in creative design, fashion, and the arts underscores her talent for bringing innovative and groundbreaking products to life, exemplified by the Flossophy night guard.

Principle Strategy Consultant
Dr Charlie Teo AM
Charlie Teo is a global neurosurgeon. In demand across all continents for his willingness to offer surgery to those who have been given no hope, he has had appointments in Australia, the USA, India, Vietnam, China, Germany, Luxembourg, Peru, Spain, and Singapore.
He was appointed a Member of the Order of Australia for his pioneering efforts in the development of minimally invasive neurosurgical techniques, and in 2012 he was invited to give the Australia Day Address to the Nation. In 2013 he was the first non-politician Australian to address the US Congress on the need for more funding for brain cancer research and for 7 consecutive years he was named the Most Trusted Person in Australia.
Interestingly, Professor Teo has the unique characteristic of embracing and utilising many complimentary alternative treatments in his management of brain cancer. He holds a diploma in acupuncture, was the Director of the Acupuncture Clinic at Concord Hospital for several years before neurosurgery, uses manipulation of the microbiome in the management of many neurological disorders and recently started offering targeted/navigated transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) for the treatment of stroke, mental health disorders and traumatic brain injury.
His quest to provide efficient and effective treatments for neurological disorders has motivated him to design several instruments for neurosurgery and develop software for a better understanding of the human brain. His interest in our product stemmed from his personal fight with bruxism and his frustration with other products. We welcome him as our Principal Strategic Advisor.
Their Story
Their story is a simple one...
During Traci's visit to Dr. Simon for a dental appointment, she voiced concerns about experiencing jaw pain and tooth sensitivity. Dr. Simon observed indications of worn-down teeth and cracks, suggesting tension in her jaw. Upon proposing the use of a dental night guard, Traci recounted her past attempts with four different types and styles recommended by various dentists, all of which incurred significant costs and failed to provide relief, ultimately causing intolerable discomfort.
This led Dr. Simon and Traci to explore alternative options during their conversation, eventually giving rise to the development of the Flossophy night guard.
