Moreover, the effectiveness assessments in most of the studies were purely subjective, carried out by the authors and/or the patients themselves, without blinding.” – The Effectiveness of Facial Exercises for Facial Rejuvenation: A Systematic Review

Try to prolong the kiss as long as possible for maximum results. Repeat kiss the sky moves for about 15-30 times every day.

Jaw training devices for bigger jaw

Jawline devices are gadgets intended to give the jaw a workout. These devices are basically supposed to work the same way as chewing gum. You train your jaw by biting these silicone devices that provide resistance between your teeth. Manufacturers usually claim that these devices can reshape the jaw and eliminate facial fat.

Yes, of course, if you chew something with force your facial muscles will grow larger. However, these devices are not an optimal solution for everyone.

There are multiple side-effects associated with jaw training devices:

Dental problems – Too much force or badly designed devices can fuck up your teeth, or loosen tooth fillings
TMJ disorders – Dysfunction of the muscles of mastication (the muscles that move the jaw). High biting force or too long training durations.
Headache and other problems – Chewing too much might cause headaches in some individuals. In the worst case jaw might snap or click.

While there are multiple jawline training devices available, we are talking about a device that you put inside your mouth. You really want to choose your device carefully. Avoid inexpensive Chinese knock-offs that may contain dangerous substances or damage your teeth.

If you have a lot of tooth fillings or teeth problems, I would not advise even testing these devices. If you still would like to test them, I would stick to popular and well-tested brands like Jawzrsizer (beginner version) which has a lot of positive reviews (Made in the USA).
