A facial exercise mask developed from resistance bands designed in various shapes and sizes. Through the resistance bands going against face movement and adding pressure because of the tightness a user moves bottom row of teeth in front of top row and repeat until required. Furthermore, user can look straight, up, to right, or left to perform the exercise to work out jaw, under chin, and jawline for a better appearance. The assembly is also attachable and detachable for increased portability and productivity.

The training device for chewing and swallowing can be used by patients who have difficulty chewing and/or swallowing to assist them to learn how to chew and swallow. The device includes a bolus delivery cylinder and a plunger. The bolus delivery cylinder can include a cylindrical housing having a peripheral wall and a hollow interior. The plunger can be slidably received in the cylindrical housing and secured thereto. In some embodiments the peripheral wall can be perforated. The interior of the housing is configured to accommodate small pieces of food. The bolus delivery cylinder can be made from a transparent, flexible material, such as silicon.

The present disclosure describes systems and methods for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea. The system includes a mouthpiece. The mouthpiece includes a force plate that a user can press against with their tongue. Pressing the force plate enables the user to strengthen their tongue. The system also includes a control module that can measure the force applied to the force plate and provide feedback to the user about progress and the applied force.

A facial exercise apparatus for facial muscle and bone resistance training and method of use. The facial exercise apparatus includes one or more flexor arms and a mouthpiece stabilizer, each connected to a flexor head connector. The flexor arm(s) extend upward, downward, left or right from the flexor head connector, have contours to place the patient's lips, and provide a resistance force outward from the flexor head connector. In use, a patient places and bites down upon the mouthpiece stabilizer, places a portion of their lips along a contoured portion of one or more of the flexor arms, and pushes their lips toward the center of the flexor head connector against the resistance of the flexor arm(s). When done at regular intervals and increasing resistances, the apparatus can strengthen a patient's facial muscles and bone and reduce the cosmetic appearance of wrinkles on their face.

Embodiments of the innovation relate to a jaw range of motion device that includes a conical base having a first end and a second end and a helical ridge carried by the conical base and disposed between the first end and the second end. The helical ridge and the conical base define a channel between adjacent helical ridge portions. The jaw range of motion device also includes a handle disposed at the second end of the conical base. When a user inserts the jaw range of motion device between his teeth, the user can apply a self-directed manual force to the device by generating a twisting motion on the handle to provide an incremental jaw range of motion.

Disclosed is a tongue strengthening device that includes a handle on one end and a bulb structure on the other end. The bulb is resiliently flexible, and enables a user to exercise their tongue by repeatedly compressing and releasing the bulb. Provided is a system or kit that includes multiple tongue strengthening devices having different compression specifications that allow a patient to graduate to devices which are harder to compress as the patient gains tongue strength.

A tongue strengthening device includes an intraoral bolus simulator having a sensor input component. An extraoral user interface is connected to the intraoral bolus. The intraoral bolus simulator is moveable relative to the extraoral user interface in response to a movement of a user's tongue. The sensor input component is configured to detect a pressure or force applied to the intraoral bolus simulator and/or to detect movement of the intraoral bolus simulator relative to the extraoral user interface.

Various embodiments are directed to systems and methods for evaluating jaw movement characteristics of a user, for example, in a plurality of distinct jaw motion directions. In an example implementation, a jaw exercise system as discussed herein is configured to facilitate the exercise and/or quantification of a user's jaw strength in at least one of six distinct directions. As described herein, the jaw exercise system may comprise a frame assembly to which a user may selectively attach one of a plurality of an interchangeable functional assemblies, each configured to facilitate the evaluation of the jaw movement characteristics of a user in six jaw movement directions. The jaw exercise system comprises one or more of a progressive resistance attachment assembly, a passive motion attachment assembly, a force characterization attachment assembly, and a hyoid motion attachment assembly.
