ORIGINAL: CalifChick You're correct in that you need some preparation. The appropriate exercises are should be done at least twice a day. They are: 1. Assisted Opening: Place two fingers on the lower front teeth. Slowly open as wide as is comfortable while pushing down with your fingers. Repeat ten times. 2. Resisted Opening: Cup your palm under your chin, open jaw slowly, and gently resist opening with the hand under your chin. Repeat ten times. 3. Midline Exercises: Look in the mirror, bite your teeth together, and look at the position of the two center teeth on the lower jaw. Open slowly while watching these two teeth and attempt to keep your lower jaw centered as you open as wide as you can. Repeat ten times. 4. Simple Opening/Stretch: Open your jaw slowly as wide as you can and repeat ten times. 5. Lateral Exercise. Open your mouth about one inch from a clenched bite. Move your lower jaw as far to the right as is comfortable, without opening your mouth wider. Repeat ten times and then do the same on the left. 6. Neck Stretch. Attempt to touch your ear to your shoulder without lifting your shoulder. Do ten times on each side. Cali *in total, complete, abject AWE*
