I have Duchenne muscular dystrophy and can not get my mouth open enough to get work done. I was told by a dentist to use tongue depressors to slowly increase the jaw opening with no success. Does anyone know of a device to stretch my jaw open?

Talk to your managing physician or physiotherapist. Maybe a type of mouth prop?, but this is out of my field.
