I still suffer from Trismus as well but am still working on the problem. Back in December 2008 I was at 15mm but when I had my checkup at the end of March I was up to 20 to 21mm. My Oral Surgeon was more excited than me and thought that I had made great progress in just 3 months. I am using the device from Dynasplint but have to admit I do not find myself using it for 30 minutes per day x 3 as recommended. My OS seems to think I will be pretty much fully functional if I can get opened to 30mm and that will be my goal. I understand that normal is about 45 to 50mm for an adult male.
