recently i have dental braces. in august, i noticed that my temple sunk. i went to see a neurosurgeon and he said the muscles on the temples weakened. i need to chew. question
Hello, In my opinion, yes chewing gums can help, but it is a type of concentric exercise which is less effective than isometric strengthening, which helps more muscle firing according to recent researches. You can use some kind of soft baby tether to practice isometric strengthening by pressing on for 5 to 10 seconds and relax for the same period and repeat many times daily. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further. Amman Darragh, Physical Therapist or Physiotherapist
