I have my next regular 3 week appt. with my Oral Surgeon next week. The Dynasplint rep is planning to meet there at the same time. I guess the rep or the OS will take an official measurement and I will see how much improvement by then. That will be after 2 full weeks of treatment with the device. I am hoping that I will measure at least 15mm up from the low of 11mm at the start.

The device itself is actually rented from Dynasplit as opposed to purchasing it. My insurance co. agreed to cover 100% of the cost but I would have paid out of pocket if necessary, anything to be able to open wide again!
