Thanks Paul. With my Trismus, I am also only able to get one finger in the mouth. I used the woodsplints for several months and have just had the Dynasplint about 2 weeks--that was a long fight with the insurance company.
On the Trismus, have you been at your limited opening for awhile? I really do not like eating in-front of non family members, as it is hard to get the food thru such a small opening. Do you know if Trismus improves? I am hoping my dynasplint helps, too early to tell. I have my appetite, but struggle with food intake.
