  • Therapeutic stretching device for the jaw and surrounding musculature
    Patent number: 10569128
    Abstract: A wedge-shaped therapeutic stretching device for the jaw generally having three sides (first, second and third), the three sides connected to each other to create the wedge shape. At the corner of two of the three sides is a stop that can rest on a user's lower teeth. On an opposing side of the stop is the second side of the stretching device, on which a plurality of steps is formed. A user's upper teeth can be placed on one of the steps. As the user's jaw flexibility increases, a user can move “up” in steps, thereby increasing distance between upper/lower jaw and allowing the jaw to stretch providing therapeutic relief.
