Look at the you tube, it will help you get right technique. I love mine. Are you small mouthed, sounds silly, but everyone's mouth is not the same size, including the opening.

Could be that you are not ready for the band you are using , maybe you need to use a less number . Or put a little olive oil on the device to smooth it out . You can help yourself pressing with your fingers your laugh lines to avoid that fold when your doing the excercise . Also make an oval with your mouth don't open it to big . Do it slow that way you can make the oval right .

Check that rubber band is on properly. Make sure that the facial flex is not in your mouth, but placed in the corners of your mouth with wider side inside the mouth. You should only have to contract using your jawline muscles, if it doesn't fully extend back to the original position, you may have a defective unit. I had one that did no slide smoothly, as though it needed lubrication. I would order another one and send that back. I must say that except for the one faulty one I received, facial flex has kept my jawline in check for over ten years. It's like any exercised muscle you have to be consistent and increase reps to see and maintain results. Check that rubber band is on properly.

Please re-word what you are saying, I don't quite picture what you are saying. I use my device liberally with success, takes some playing around with. I don't worry nor pay attention to other lines or creases, cause they will be there, tho the inner muscles of the face are what's getting worked so have faith your results will show in time, mine are!!

Maybe the juice is too concentrated. Try thiner liquids or you can enlarge the nipple carefully with a knife.

Make sure you aren't putting too much water in. I tend to overfill mine and I have a watery mess when I do. There's a fill line and you can't go even the littlest bit over that.

I have to put the gel on a q-tip and rub it on my teeth before putting my trays in. Hope that helps some!

I haven't had this problem but I suggest you lay grill face down on a flat surface and make sure it's not warped also try and see if the lip is curled in somewhere Good luck

I'm only 5 feet tall, female, and over 65 years old. I did get it to extend, but it was like wrestling a bear. Very difficult. I put a metal cooking skewer through the screw holes on one end, stood on it, and yanked on the other end of the pipe. Bent the skewer a little, but finally got the monster extended. If you can get someone to help, I recommend it.It is almost as difficult to shorten after it has been extended. Mashing one wrinkle at a time is easiest. The good part about it is that once you get it just like you want it, it stays there!

It didn't work for me but my wrinkles are deep above my upper and lower lips.

Hello. No, I'm sorry, it does not extend. It does not make any sound effects as well. It was a nice piece to complete a Doctor Who costume. Thanks!

Hi Irene. I tried to put a strip on the bottom and one on top at the same time and it was terribly uncomfortable and I could not keep the strips from "slipping" around in my mouth so I use one on top and afterwards one on the bottom. You can try it to see if it works for you but it did not for me. Have to use the separately but they work:)

No -not that I can do...I can only get it to work on my face..upper lip and chin...can't manipulate it it under arms or legs..not sure..maybe it is just me..but the way you have to bend it to make it work...maybe that is why.

Try sucking the air our before you close it that way it's a tight fit and if that dosent work try adding some foam around it.

I suggest buying new trays at walmart. Cut them down along the top to fit comfortably in your mouth, then stick the light tightly against the tray and close your lips around the whole thing! It feels weird but...and hold the light tightly in your mouth with your hand. Hope this helps!

Hi Jennifer, I have the same problem too (also, I chronically salivate no matter what). Once I get the trays in, I put a small piece of gauze in at the same time to try and absorb the drool...its a pain to put something else in there at the same time, but it helped. Wish I could think of other ways -- if I do, I'll let you know. :)

It doesn't quite reach the mouth area, I put it up as high as it can go and if you are sitting and bending down it will work, or if you're a little tyke or child it will work. But otherwise, it just doesn't seem to reach me when I'm at the piano, though I still use it////I just bend down into it. Hope this helps.

I think it may be too big. It even feels big for my mouth and I am 50. Perhaps you can check the over the counter mouthguards they sell for young athletes. Good luck.
