TalkTools® Jiggler Combo - Unicorn & Sloth

Jiggler tools are effective for increasing sensory awareness in the jaw and lip muscles, reducing "fixing" or clenching in the jaw muscles, and/or satisfying the need for temporomandibular joint (TMJ) stimulation as a substitute for poor oral habits. Additionally, each Jiggler can be used to meet more specific needs.
