TMD Physio Care™ Jaw Exercisers: Which Version Do You Need — Low, Medium, or Hard?

Jaw pain, stiffness, and limited jaw opening can impact everyday tasks — from speaking to enjoying a meal. The TMD Physio Care™ Jaw Exerciser is a clinically designed device that helps restore jaw mobility, increase muscular stability, and reduce the discomfort associated with temporomandibular disorders (TMD).

What sets these exercisers apart from generic jaw training products is their precise, controlled, air-based mechanism — enabling gentle, safe therapy tailored to each stage of recovery.

There are three levels of the TMD Physio Care™ device:

Low-Force
Medium-Force
Hard-Force

Each version is developed to support progressive jaw rehabilitation under professional supervision.


Low vs Medium vs Hard — What’s the Difference?

Feature Low-Force Medium-Force Hard-Force
Minimum insertion mouth opening ~15 mm (after removing 10 mL air) ~17 mm (after removing 20 mL air) ~20 mm (after removing 20 mL air)
Max comfortable opening achieved ~32 mm (adding up to 14 mL air) ~36 mm (adding up to 17 mL air) ~36 mm (adding up to 19 mL air)
Max stretching force Up to ~18 N Up to ~24 N Up to ~32 N
Max strengthening load Up to ~22 N Up to ~24 N Up to ~34 N
Opening movement amplitude Up to 17 mm Up to 19 mm Up to 16 mm
Target users Early rehabilitation, high sensitivity Moderate stiffness, improving strength Late-stage rehab, strong stabilization

Simple selection guide:

Your current condition Recommended device
Painful jaw, very limited opening Low-Force
Improved mobility but still weakness or clicking Medium-Force
Strong mobility, need better control & chewing power Hard-Force

How the Device Works

Each exerciser uses a precision air-inflated chamber:

  • Air removed → device gets smaller → easier insertion with limited opening

  • Air added → controlled stretching or resistance is applied

This allows users to progress safely without overstressing the temporomandibular joint.


Two Types of Therapy in One Device

1️⃣ Mobility Training — Increase Jaw Opening

Purpose: Restore pain-free range of motion

  • 3–5 reps, 3–5× daily

  • Hold 10–15 sec (progress to 15–20 sec after 1–2 weeks)

  • Mild tension only — no pain, no forcing

2️⃣ Stability Training — Strength + Control

Purpose: Improve muscle balance & joint protection

  • 5–10 reps, 1–2× daily

  • 5-second isometric holds

  • Very small movement range (1–7 mm)

  • Smooth, symmetrical control — never clenching

Pro tip: Always perform stretching first, strengthening second


Who Should Use Which Version?

Goal Best Version
Reduce stiffness, restore basic mobility Low-Force
Improve chewing control, stabilize joint Medium-Force
Strengthen jaw for full daily function Hard-Force

Professional guidance ensures safe progression — especially for those with inflammation, clicking, past dislocations, or TMJ hypermobility.


Safety First

Do not begin without clinician approval if you have:

  • Acute jaw trauma or fracture

  • Active infection in mouth or jaw

  • Ankylosis (bony fusion of TMJ)

  • Wired jaws or immediate post-surgical restrictions

  • Recent implants without full healing

  • Severe osteoporosis of the jaw

Neurological disorders affecting jaw control require specialist oversight.

📌 Exercises must always remain pain-free and controlled.


Built for Medical Reliability

  • Medical-grade biocompatible resin

  • CE-marked according to EU MDR

  • Made in an FDA-registered, ISO 13485 certified facility

  • Withstands 3000+ cycle rehabilitation use

  • Designed for hygiene, comfort, and long-term safety

Cleaning is simple: rinse → soap → rinse → disinfect → air-dry.


The Bottom Line

TMD Physio Care™ helps patients:

✔ Stretch safely
✔ Strengthen efficiently
✔ Restore natural motion
✔ Prevent reinjury

And the three-level progression system ensures every patient has the right support throughout recovery.

Your jaw deserves therapy — not stress.
Choose the version that matches your current stage and work with a clinician to progress confidently.
