Health is so important to us, especially oral health. That must be why in 1921 G. C. Purdy created the exercising device for your gums. This device consists of a string attached to a spring. Wiith the use a retainer type mouthpiece, you connect the spring to the wall or another person and exercise back and forth. Steve’s next wacky patent is also regarding oral health. It is a little device that can tell if you have inserted your oral apparatus and reminds you if you have not.
