The Doc shouldn't be pushing on it that hard. I don't think it is the

band. During the night when they wake up and go back to sleep, there

is alot of yawning and that is my worst enemy sometimes. When I am

bad I have to hold my jaw closed if it yawn or it will lock. This may

be what's going on. You are right on the ball getting the surgeon

already, great job,MOM!!! Let me know if they can see her sooner.
