New Weight Loss Device Locks Mouth Shut To Prevent Eating
The DentalSlim Diet Control intra-oral device would be fitted to the upper and lower molars of the wearer by a dental professional.
The new gadget uses magnetic devices fitted with unique custom-manufactured locking bolts to keep the mouth of the wearer closed, preventing them from snacking.
However, the device does allow the wearer to open their mouth to breathe, speak and drink, facilitating a 2mm gap.
The device was created by researchers based at the University of Otago in New Zealand in conjunction with colleagues based in the UK.
