Do You Chew Evenly? Simple Jaw Muscle Test with Paddle Pops!

Do you feel like your bite is off or uneven?

This video introduces a simple and practical way to check whether you’re chewing more on one side of your jaw. If you’ve been favouring one side—especially when chewing tougher foods like crusty bread, steak, or raw vegetables—you may have developed an imbalance in your jaw muscles.

💡 What you’ll learn:

• How to use paddle pops to check muscle activation on both sides of your jaw

• Why uneven chewing can lead to jaw discomfort or bite misalignment

• What you can do to start balancing your chewing habits

Try this easy self-check and see if you’re overworking one side!

Happy Rehab!
