Wow, did you make alot of progress. Thats relly excellent news. How I admire you !!!!!!

My bite opening is only 4mm. I had been up to 14mm but relapsed when I had a bad week. Now I need to work twice as hard to get back to where I was. Having alot of stress in your life makes your jaws tighten up more too.

Tell me what this thing is called and where it came from. What type of therapist do you see? I have both a speech therapist and physical therapist. My physical therapist is the one who works wonders with me.

Keep up the good work and keep me posted smile
