Overview

 

The OraStretch Press Jaw Motion Rehab System is a handheld unit designed to stretch a user's jaw to treat trismus, dysfunction and hypomobility. The device uses passive motion to stretch the user's jaw, joint and facial tissues for increased mobility, flexibility, and function.

 

The OraStretch Press device provides a curved, anatomically correct stretch for patients to treat or rehabilitate their jaw and temporomandibular joint. This device can be used for stretching, passive motion, and muscle strengthening, and it has an intuitive design for ease of use and reading of the attached scale. By utilizing the OraStretch Press, a user can increase their range-of-motion, improve their jaw and joint function, and reduct swelling and pain.

 

Without adequate therapy, a lack of motion can deteriorate into a painful cycle of restricted jaw movement that causes difficulty with eating, speaking, coughing, and oral hygiene, which leads to more pain. The OraStretch Press handheld is an effective way to rehabilitate your joint by stretching and retraining your jaw muscles and tissues.

 

With continual and diligent use of the OraStretch Press, a typical patient can gain 1-2 mm per week in overall range of motion, with short-term gains of 1-4 mm immediately after stretching sessions. Use the OraStretch Press daily as directed by your doctor. Your recovery depends on your commitment to rehabilitation and is the only way to assure yourself a full, functional recovery.

 

The OraStretch Press device can open to 50mm for patients trying to achieve a fully functional opening. The OraStretch Press device also has safety screw that allows the patient to set an adjustable maximum opening, or to slowly open and close the device.

 

The OraStretch Press device utilizes general mouthpieces and does not require custom splints or mouthpieces. The OraStretch Press device mouthpieces are softened by foam pads and spread the force of the stretch across the users teeth. Special pads are also available for edentulous patients.

 

The OraStretch Press system is 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.

 

The OraStretch Press system includes the OraStretch Press device, a patient log, foam bite pads, and measuring scales, all easily carried in the carrying bag. The OraStretch Press device itself includes a safetly limit screw, allowing the patient and doctor to control the therapy and prevent overstretching.

 

The OraStretch Press foam pads and the Range-of-Motion scales can also be purchased separately without prescription.

 

The OraStretch Press system should only be used under the guidance of a medical professional. The OraStretch Press system has 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.
