Report: Weight Loss Device That Keeps the Jaw Shut is Under Fire

Researchers in the United Kingdom and New Zealand who designed a metal device that keeps the jaw mostly closed for weight loss reasons are facing serious criticism. The product restricts users to a liquid diet and features “custom-manufactured locking bolts” that prevent the mouth from opening more than 2mm.

Learn what other health experts have to say about it, including why it should never be part of Phentermine 37.5mg regimens or any other weight loss plans. 

A “Global Obesity” Solution? 

University of Otago Health Sciences Pro-Vice-Chancellor Professor Paul Brunton said the metal jaw device was meant to address the “global obesity” problem. 

“It is a non-invasive, reversible, economical and attractive alternative to surgical procedures,” he said in a press release. 

Numerous health experts have slammed the product.

“It’s gut-wrenching that we live in a society where the medical community is in favor of cementing a magnetic device to someone’s molars to restrict their mouth from opening, and therefore eating,” Chelsea Kronengold, the Associate Director of Communications at the National Eating Disorders Association, remarked to PEOPLE. “These overt and subliminal messages about losing weight no matter the cost continue to oppress people in higher-weight bodies and perpetuate the harmful notion that being fat is a moral failure.”

A “Destructive” Way to Lose Weight

Dietician Dawn Jackson Blatner also condemns the device, saying “this may forcibly and barbarically help people lose weight in the short-term, but following a liquid diet is not a healthy, forever solution to a complicated, multi-factorial issue.”

“Physically forcing people to follow a liquid diet is a mentally destructive and physically unhealthy strategy that is not a long-term solution,” she added.
