A Doctor Explains Whether Those ‘Jaw Trainers’ for Men Actually Work

Strength training for the jaw isn’t new: Soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo did a series of commercials for “facial fitness” equipment in 2014. But a growing number of methods and devices designed to increase jawline angularity mandible have proliferated on the platforms. like TikTok more recently.

In a new video where he answers a variety of questions from subscribers, YouTube doctor mike addresses the effectiveness of jaw trainers.

“Cristiano Ronaldo got paid a lot of money to do that ad, and you really shouldn’t be wearing these things, because the masseter muscles are really strong, but the reality is that if you overdo it, you can create problems in the TMJ area that literally , literally it makes you have a headache,” he says.

“And then at night, if you overtrain these muscles, you can start clenching and grinding your teeth, wearing down your molars,” he continues. “You don’t want these problems, believe me, I’ve seen patients suffer with it, it’s a big problem.”

Elsewhere on the Internet, there are those who believe that “meow” Exercises can help define the jaw muscles, although these claims are still false. “I think meowing is a good example of the power of a story,” says Timothy Caulfield, Canada Research Chair in Health Law and Policy. “This is one of those areas where there really isn’t a lot of evidence, good clinical evidence, to back it up. It’s based almost entirely on that intuitive appeal, anecdotes and testimonials.”
