❓Myo Munchie? What is it & why use it?
✅A Myo Munchie is an oral therapy device designed to support jaw strength, breathing, and dental/orofacial development.
👄It looks a bit like a chewy mouthguard, but it’s different from standard dental appliances because it’s intended to be actively chewed and used dynamically, rather than just passively worn.
🔑Key Features
• Made of medical-grade silicone – safe to chew, flexible, and durable.
• Chewing-based exercise – encourages functional chewing, swallowing, and oral muscle activation.
• Self-cleaning design – its ridges and bristles stimulate the gums and teeth while being used.
🤓Therapeutic Uses
• Oral motor development – supports children with low oral tone, poor chewing, or delayed feeding skills.
• Myofunctional therapy – helps retrain tongue and lip posture, supporting better breathing (nasal breathing over mouth breathing).
• Jaw and facial development – encourages proper muscle use for dental arch formation and alignment.
• Stress and regulation – can serve as a safe, structured chew tool for children who seek oral input.
🙌🏽We use in our therapy sessions & our clients use them at home too. Want to know more?
