Valerie, I'd be iknterested to know what the oral surgeon says. I have bad trismus although not quite as bad as your husband--by the end of the day I can open my mouth to about 1 and 1/2 fingers wide. My ENT told me about a surgery he wants to do with an oral maxillofacial surgeon here that supposedly really helps the mouth open wider. Not too many people here (on the OCF board)d heard of it when I asked and I am still on the fence about having it and need to find someone who can give me a second opinion.
