Jaw spreader
A mouth spreader , actually a jaw spreader , is a medical device and is used to keep the mouth open during a medical examination (e.g. at the dentist ). It consists of two metal brackets with joints, plus a notch or a locking screw. Despite its martial appearance, it only prevents accidental biting by a patient who is actually cooperating, it is not suitable for opening a closed mouth despite resistance, and with appropriate resistance it can also be pushed out of the mouth.

Mouth spreader in BDSM
As a special form of the gag (keeps the mouth open, not closed, but prevents articulate speaking), the mouth spreader is now a very common sex toy in the BDSM field . Because many bottoms find it difficult to swallow with a spreader, they are prone to excessive salivary secretion , which adds a humiliating component.
