> exercise your jaw. This can help build wider mouths

I have bruxism. My doctor told me specifically to not chew excessively.

Also, despite the bruxism over a period of >20 years, I don't have a wide mouth :(

Chewing hard stuff will make your jaw muscles stronger, but the reason you most likely have bruxism is due to a habit of chewing and its an automated reflex. Do you chew gum?

I rarely chew gum, and my doctor said I should avoid it.

Compared to what?

Do you have an evil twin that doesn't have bruxism?
