What to do in case of irritation of oral mucosa or lips?

Question

I am very happy with the FaceFormer. It was practically my last resort. My muscles have normalized, my tongue can finally go back to its usual place, the pain in my jaw is much less, you can tell that I can no longer grind my teeth because they feel more stable.

Unfortunately, redness has formed in some areas of the mouth. This could be due to the suction where the edges of the FaceFormer press on the lips and gums. What could I do to protect or support the oral mucosa and lips?

Answer

The positive effect is primarily due to your consistent practice. You must therefore continue to do the exercises regularly and also use the FaceFormer at night. Reddened pressure marks occur in a few users during the first few days. This is caused by particularly sensitive gums. The lips are shielded by the FaceFormer’s mouth shield so that the saliva no longer reaches these areas optimally.

To avoid such reactions, apply a thin layer of Vaseline to the entire surface of the FaceFormer mouth shield before use. Vaseline is harmless and free of harmful substances. The grease reduces the friction that the mouth shield creates on the gums and thus reduces the reactions described above. If you are uncomfortable with Vaseline, vegetable oil can also be used with the same results.

To reduce sensitivity, carefully brush the inner lip area once or twice a day with a soft toothbrush. The sensitivity will then reduce after a short time.

If you also feel pressure on your teeth, this is completely normal because teeth that protrude from the dental arch receive more pressure. This is also the way it should be and the sensation gradually diminishes as the teeth blend in harmoniously.
