John - have you read the pages on the site about trismus? There are exercises that you can do and a device (also a tongue blade alternative) that can help you streach the muscles out over a period of time. I was told to do these from the begining day of treament till 6 months afterwards every day, and my results are pretty good.....people even tell me I have a big mouth (guess that dosen't exactly man the same thing!)
