ABSTRACT:
A system for measuring a plurality of characteristics of a user's oral regions comprising, in combination, a pair of planks each having a proximal end and a distal end. The rods include an upper plank and a lower plank with a hinge coupling the distal ends of the rods. A pair of proximally extending supports each having an exterior surface adapted to be received in the mouth of a user. A deformable pneumatic bulb is positioned between the planks adjacent to the proximal end thereof. A associated tube thereby applies a pneumatic force to the second end of the tube. A meter is coupled to the second end of the tube to provide readings in response to the force applied to the bulb. The tube extends through a hole in the upper plank.
