What am I doing wrong with mastic gum?

[GreatDane]

I recently bought some mint flavored Falim gum from amazon and I started chewing it about 3 days ago. I have been chewing 2 pieces at once since I've found that it stays harder for longer. I chew 2 pieces for around an hour, then I put it in a bottle of water and wait 2.5/3 hours to chew again as to avoid pain or overworking masseters. Everything was fine, no serious pain or issues, until this morning when i woke up with a very sore mandible, and my ramus somehow got shorter and gonial angle more obtuse. Everything has seemingly gone back into place after about 6 hours from waking up, and it is not nearly as painful, but I am still wondering what I could have done wrong or if there is something I should be avoiding.

Using it is what you’re doing wrong
