Description
This is a three piece jaw exerciser set in food grade silicone, each piece 3 x 1.5cm in white, designed to be placed between the molars rather than the front teeth - $17.99. You bite and release against the resistance of the silicone.
Jaw exercisers work the masseter, the muscle that closes your jaw and one of the strongest in the body relative to its size. People use them the same way they use any resistance product - for the feel of working a muscle. The molar placement matters more than anything else about the design: devices meant to be bitten with the front teeth put load on incisors that are not built to take it, which is exactly why this one is shaped to sit further back. That is a design point worth understanding before you buy any product in this category.

Why Choose This Jaw Exerciser
-
Shaped for molar placement - load goes onto the back teeth, which are built for it, not the incisors.
-
Food grade silicone - the same class of material used for baby soothers, with no chemical fillers stated by the manufacturer.
-
Three pieces supplied - a spare for the gym bag and one to keep clean at home.
-
Small enough to carry - at 3 x 1.5cm each, they go in a pocket.
-
Washable and reusable - silicone rinses clean and does not absorb.
Are Jaw Exercisers Safe to Use?
They carry real risks that are worth understanding before you start. Repeatedly loading the jaw joint can aggravate or trigger temporomandibular joint (TMJ) problems, and excessive clenching is associated with jaw pain, headaches, tooth wear and damage to dental work such as crowns, veneers and fillings. If you already grind your teeth, have any jaw clicking or pain, wear braces or have significant dental work, speak to your dentist before using one at all. Start with very short sessions, stop immediately if you feel any joint pain, and do not treat soreness as progress.
What Does a Jaw Exerciser Actually Do?
It gives the masseter muscle something to work against, in the same sense that a grip trainer works the forearm. That is the honest description of the mechanism. We do not make claims about facial appearance, jawline definition, weight, appetite or ageing - those claims are common in this product category and we are not repeating them, because they are not supported by evidence we can point to. Buy it if you want to work the muscle; do not buy it expecting a cosmetic outcome.
How Should It Be Cleaned and Stored?
Wash it in warm soapy water before the first use and after every session, rinse thoroughly and let it air dry fully before putting it away. Anything that goes in your mouth repeatedly needs the same care as a mouthguard. Inspect each piece before use and throw it out at the first sign of a tear, split or bite-through - a piece of silicone that breaks apart in the mouth is a choking hazard. Keep them somewhere clean and dry, and never share them between people.
Buyers are people who train and want to work the jaw the way they work everything else, and people who like the feeling of chewing resistance. Please read the safety section above before ordering - this is not a product to buy casually.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many pieces do I get?
Three. The manufacturer's package contents specifies 3 x masseter trainer, and that is what we have listed.
Are there different resistance levels?
The manufacturer does not specify resistance levels or hardness ratings for these pieces. All three are supplied the same.
What are they made from?
Food grade silicone, described by the manufacturer as containing no chemical fillers or by-products.
Can children use them?
No. These are small silicone objects and a choking hazard. Keep them away from children entirely.
Will it change the shape of my face?
We make no claim about facial appearance. It is a resistance product for the jaw muscle.
Can I use it with braces or dental work?
Ask your dentist first. Repeated clenching can damage crowns, veneers, fillings and orthodontic work.

This is a general exercise accessory, not a medical or therapeutic device, and it is not registered with the TGA. We make no claim that it affects weight, appetite, facial appearance, ageing or any medical condition. Jaw training can aggravate TMJ disorders and can damage teeth and dental work - consult your dentist before use, particularly if you grind your teeth, have jaw pain or clicking, wear braces or have crowns, veneers or fillings. Stop immediately if you experience pain. CHOKING HAZARD - not for children, and discard any piece that shows a tear or split.
