Hi,

my husband had a similar diagnosis. He had severe trismus which got better once the tumor went away but during treatment we got a therabyte (our insurance paid most of it) and he uses it every day to keep his mouth opening. When he was diagnosed it was difficult to get two tongue compressors taped together to go in his mouth. Now his mouth opens "3 fingers width" which is pretty normal. It is very easy to use and only takes a couple of minutes a day to use. It should help Curt even if it doesn't resolve the problem completely. Plus, many on this board are using a new biotene mouth spray to increase moisture (you can read about it on this Board and I believe that Brian Hill made a post where he explained that it not only helps in the moment but it increases enzymes to continues to help. I wish I had suggestions on spasms but he doesn't have that particular problem (although he has some others!) but I'm sure others on this Board can help.

Take care- Sophie
