Erik,
I can't even get the tip of a finger in my mouth. I've used tongue depressers to wedge it open. I can get up to 6 at times.
As I've said, now that I'm almost done with HBO therapy, I do feel that my jaw is loosening up some. I'm hoping to gain some more range of motion. Once my mouth is healed I'm going to give the old therabite another go around.
John
