Sure you can -- there are several different muscles on the jaw, including the masseter, temporalis, medial pterygoid, and lateral pterygoid -- all used for chewing.

Have you ever chewed a piece of gum for a long time and had your jaw get tired? You overworked those muscles, specifically you would feel it more in your masseter (which runs down your cheek to your jaw and is what opens your mouth, and your temporalis, which runs over your temple to your jaw which closes your mouth. The pterygoid muscles move your jaw laterally, or side to side.

Having oral... you know what I mean... Can also BENEFIT ... and help WORK... those jaw muscles.
