I was skeptical but it actually did start working when I used it daily. Was uncomfortable at first but after a week it was just part of my routine and it really did help with the jaw pain. Size range is fairly comfortable, simple enough to use. The plastic is sturdy, doesn’t take much pressure to have it stay in place, and it’s easy to use. Read more
I got this thinking it would help with my trismus (to stretch the jaw) and it's not very beneficial for that purpose. The gaps are too small for the teeth, which causes pain. And when rotating to the next size up it causes more pain because the octagon shapes of the increments up goes way past the next size. Read more
I am genuinely surprised at how well this product works, and am so glad I decided to purchase it! It is worth every penny (and I was skeptical about paying so much). Here are the observations I made: - this worked after only a couple days of using it - my jaw pain decreased, especially the pain first thing in the mornings, and also that feeling that I need to clench decreased, like my jaw is more relaxed -I found that stretching at two levels helps best, because it feels like there are different sets of muscles that need to be stretched. I stretch first when my jaw is only open about 2 fingers worth, and then I increase it to where my mouth is open all the way and stretch there. -30 seconds at intervals of at least 2 hours apart throughout the day worked for me; I wasn't exact in the every 2 hours thing, and it was fine. - I did notice that when I used it too frequently, I had pretty bad aching pain in my jaw the next day, almost like after a workout - I haven't owned it long enough to speak to long-term pain relief or whether my headaches have improved, but when I forgot to use it one day, I awoke the next morning with awful jaw pain & clenching, which told me it has been working for my nighttime jaw clenching I've had TMJ problems for decades, and most doctors/dentists would just tell me "stop grinding your teeth / don't clench your jaw so much" (uhh, if it were that simple, the problem would've been easy to resolve). I've had night guards, which I just chewed on in my sleep, so those didn't help. I had just been living on ibuprofen and migraine meds, not even realizing how much was attributed to my jaw pain. My doctor recently referred me to an ENT for what we thought was sinus and ear pain, and it turns out those are fine--all that pain was from my jaw clenching. The ENT said the same thing they all do (get a night guard), so I searched amazon for potential solutions, and this has really been helping! Read more

I received this product last night. I ordered it to help open my mouth after a dental procedure; I was unable to open my mouth for more than two fingers, but it would tighten back up overnight. I used it before bed and this morning, and it worked very well. I was only able to open my mouth for two fingers, and this device stretched my mouth to three fingers. My muscles felt tight but not painful and stay relaxed. I will use it every two hours, and I am sure my trismus will resolve quickly. Read more
I think it will be great once my husband can open his mouth a bit more. He has trismus due to scar tissue from multiple surgeries. The smallest notch on this device doesn’t quite fit in between his teeth. Read more
