has anyone had it? and if you did/do, does it

hurt and is it worth getting? i have no idea. (:

Answer 1

It may be uncomfortable at first (or annoying), but it shouldn't be painful.  

It helps advance the lower jaw and move the upper jaw back.  It is basically a way to help you to avoid jaw surgery in the future.  It is worth getting, keep in mind that if it works, you'll be able to avoid a surgery!
