Abstract
The mouth bite device includes a handle and a crossbar thereon to form a T-shaped device. The crossbar has resilient sections toward its ends. The device is sized so that the handle can manipulate the crossbar so that the crossbar enters across the mouth and the resilient sections respectively lie between the opposing molars of the user so that, as he bites down, he engages his molars on the resilient sections. This permits the user to clench his teeth without damage, thus relieving tension and releasing emotional energy.
