Jaw Toner Gum User Guide

Firstly, take a photo of your face from the front and side before using the Jaw Toner. This is to track and compare your progress over the weeks and see how far you've come. Submit a review with your results, or send it to our instagram @jawtoners, we'd love to see them!

Before You Start

Choose your piece size:

  • Beginners: Start with ⅓–½ piece of Jaw Toner gum.
  • Intermediate / advanced chewers: Use 1 full piece once your jaw has adapted (after 1–2 weeks).

Important safety rule:

You should feel muscle fatigue and a mild burn, not sharp pain in the jaw joint, ears, or temples. If you feel pain → stop.

Correct Posture

Before you start chewing:

1. Sit or stand tall with your chest up and chin slightly tucked (not poking forward).

2. Keep your teeth lightly apart when you’re not actively biting.

3. Tongue position between sets:
Rest the tongue on the roof of your mouth, just behind your front teeth.
Lips together, breathing through your nose.

This posture makes the gum work with your facial structure, not against it.

 
 

Now You're Ready For Training!

Refer to this guide to learn how to use the Jaw Toner Gum with perfect form to avoid any complications. If you use the device properly, jaw problems such as TMJ should not form.

 
 

Start Lightly

Goal: Get the jaw joint and muscles ready.

  1. Put the gum in and chew lightly on both sides.
  2. Slow, controlled bites – no aggressive crunching yet.
  3. 30–60 seconds gentle chewing, switching sides naturally.
  4. Focus on:
    Smooth movement
    Keeping your head still (don’t bob your head with each bite)

Main Workout

You’re going to treat this like a gym session for your jaw.

A. Side chewing (for mass + symmetry)

  1. Move all the gum to your left side.
  2. Chew only on the left side for 45–60 seconds.
    Slow, full range bites.
    Don’t rush – think quality reps, not speed.
  3. Move the gum to your right side.
  4. Chew only on the right side for 45–60 seconds.

➡️ That’s 1 round.

Do 3–5 rounds total, depending on your level:

  • Beginners: 2–3 rounds
  • Intermediate: 3–4 rounds
  • Advanced: 4–5 rounds

Rest 20–30 seconds between rounds with your teeth relaxed and tongue on the roof of your mouth.

B. Front bites (activates other muscles)

After side chewing:

  1. Center the gum between your front teeth or slightly behind them.
  2. Do slow, controlled front bites for 30–60 seconds.
  3. Think about:
    Lifting under the chin
    Keeping your neck long (no turtle neck)
  4. Do 1–2 sets of this.

C. Tongue Roll (for definition under the chin)
After side chewing:

  1. Roll the gum into a ball and press it to the roof of your mouth with your tongue.
  2. Flatten the gum on to the roof of your mouth by rolling it back and forth with you tongue
  3. Hold the press for 5–10 seconds, then roll forward and repeat for 30–60 seconds.
  4. Think about: Lifting under the chin — neck long, no turtle neck, throat open.
  5. Do 1–2 sets of this at the end.

What you're targeting: The suprahyoid group — mylohyoid, geniohyoid, and digastric. When these fire, the hyoid lifts and tightens the tissue under your jawline from the inside

How often should you use it?

These are the recommended intervals to start training. If you have a stronger jaw to begin with, you may want to progress quicker.


Week 1 (Beginner Phase)

  • Time: 5–10 minutes per session
  • Frequency: 3–5x per week (non-consecutive days when possible)
  • Piece size: ⅓–½ piece

Week 2–3 (Adaptation Phase)

  • Time: 10–15 minutes per session
  • Frequency: 4–6x per week
  • Piece size: Up to 1 full piece if Week 1 felt easy

Week 4+ (Progression Phase)

  • Time: 15-20 minutes per session max
  • Frequency: 6–8+ per week (multiple sessions in one day but always have at least 1 rest day per week)

More is not always better. Your jaw is a joint – treat it like training any other muscle group.

What NOT to do

To protect your jaw joint:

  • Don’t chew for hours. Short, focused sessions are better than mindless chewing all day.
  • Don’t chew only on one side every time – always alternate sides in rounds.
  • Don’t clench your teeth all day after your session. Training is during the session; the rest of the time your jaw should be relaxed.
  • Don’t keep going through sharp pain, clicking, or locking – that’s a sign to stop, not “push through”.

Common Problems

Is this safe for my teeth?

Yes. The gum is tough but flexible, and sweetened with xylitol, which helps support healthy enamel.

Just avoid:


  • Overchewing (don’t do hours straight)

  • Sharp pain or joint discomfort

Can I chew it all day?

No. This is resistance training, not regular gum. Stick to short sessions, then let your jaw rest.

How long until I see results?

Most people notice:

  • Better jaw endurance in 1–2 weeks
  • Visible definition in 3–6+ weeks
  • Improved jaw posture/tongue posture within days

Results vary based on consistency and your starting point.

It's causing jaw pain

If you experience jaw pain from the Jaw Toner Gum, you may have overused the chewing gum, used it incorrectly, or had pre-existing jaw problems. If you feel pain when using the Jaw Toner gum, refrain from use for 2-3 days. If jaw problems persist chroncially, refrain from use of the Jaw Toner gum.

Additional Advice To Maintain A Healthy Jaw & Chiselled Jaw

Practice Proper Tongue Posture

Relax your tongue and make sure it is sitting comfortably in your mouth. With your lips closed, place the tip of your tongue behind your front teeth and against the roof of your mouth. Gently press your tongue upwards and backwards towards the soft palate (the soft tissue at the back of the roof of your mouth). Keep your tongue in this position throughout the day, including when you swallow.

Do Not Breathe Through Your Mouth

Mouth breathing can lead to a variety of negative health outcomes. When you breathe through your mouth, you bypass the natural filtration and humidification system of your nose, which can make you more prone to allergies, infections, and dry mouth. Mouth breathing can also contribute to a lack of oxygen and poor sleep quality, which can negatively impact your overall health and well-being.
