Is this really where we are as a society? Food is so readily available that we cannot control the urge to shove more food in our faces than we need? We have to LOCK down our jaws?! WOW.

The DentalSlim Diet Control device uses locking bolts and magnets to clamp a person’s teeth together, only letting them open their mouth 2mm.

It sounds extreme to some, but the people that participated in the trial said the device was “non-invasive,” and they lost an average of 14 pounds during the two-week trial. The creators haven’t said how much it will cost or when it will be available, but since it has to be custom-fit to your mouth, a trip to the dentist will be involved.
