Abstract: Systems and methods for operating a mouth-operated moveable apparatus are described. The apparatus may include a case, a mechanism coupled to the case, and a curved band having a first end coupled to the mechanism and a free second end, wherein the mechanism includes a biasing element automatically holding the band in a first position, wherein the case and mechanism are configured such that when the apparatus is placed in the mouth of a user the mechanism is actuatable by a jaw movement of the user, and where the actuation of the mechanism moves the band from the first position to a second position.
