The newly designed OraStretch press is smaller, easier to use, and allows patients to achieve a fully functional opening. The TheraBite system offers a pediatric version for patients under-10 and with very small oral openings. Please call us at 1-800-206-8381 for more information.
The OraStretch Press and TheraBite jaw motion rehab systems are handheld units designed to stretch a user's jaw to treat trismus, dysfunction and hypomobility. The devices use passive motion to stretch the user's jaw, joint and facial tissues for increased mobility, flexibility, and function. 
The OraStretch Press and TheraBite devices provides a curved, anatomically correct stretch for patients to treat or rehabilitate their jaw and temporomandibular joint. By utilizing a jaw motion rehab system, a user can increase their range-of-motion, improve their jaw and joint function, and reduct swelling and pain.
The OraStretch Press device can open to 50mm for patients trying to achieve a fully functional opening. The TheraBite opens to 41mm.
Both devices utilize general mouthpieces with foam pads and do not require custom splints. Special pads are also available for edentulous patients. The OraStretch Press and TheraBite devices come in a standard version, and a pediatric TheraBite is available.
The jaw rehab systems are clinically proven as more effective than self-exercises and tongue depressors. The system is easy to use and portable, allowing patients to perform their necessary therapy while continuing in their daily life.
A jaw motion rehab system should only be used under the guidance of a medical professional. Jaw motion rehab systems have been studied and successfully tested in clinical trials of post-surgical and post-radiation trismus, TMJ disorders, and traumas. Recent studies also indicate efficacy for treatement of orofacial pain and non-surgical TMJ conditions.
