ARK's Flower Chew Necklace
Product number:
FLOWER100Yellow
Product information "ARK's Flower Chew Necklace"
ARK's Flower Chew Necklace is budding with possibilities!
This fun floral shape is a robust chew necklace for anyone who needs to chew. Each pendant measures about 5cm at the widest part and 2,5cm in thickness - a great option for chewing with your front teeth (for more slender options that reach the back molars, click here). Because this is a more robust shape, it's also a good option for tougher chewers. Use it as a safe alternative to chewing on pencils, shirts, fingers, etc. and to help calm, focus, and self-regulate.
Like all ARK chewelry, it's made in USA and is available in 3 color-coded toughness levels:
- Standard - This is the softest level, recommended for mild chewers (those who do not chew through anything).
- XT / Medium Firm - This is the middle level, which we call XT ("Xtra Tough"). It's firmer, but still fairly chewy, recommended for moderate chewers.
- XXT / Very Firm - This is the toughest level, which we call XXT ("Xtra Xtra Tough"). It still has some “chewability” to it, but it’s fairly rigid / pretty firm. No chew tool is indestructible, but this is usually the longest lasting level for avid chewers.
Please note: because it has a more robust shape, each level of the Flower will feel tougher than the same toughness level in one of our more slender shapes. So for example, if you like the Krypto-Bite® in the middle XT level, you may want to "size down" a toughness level and order the Flower in standard.
- Medical grade, FDA compliant, NO lead, phthalates, PVC, BPA, or latex.
Caution: This product is not a toy. The clasp and cord are not intended for chewing. Contains small parts that may pose a choking hazard - direct supervision required. Recommended for ages 5 years and up. Although these chew tools are sturdy and durable, no chew tool is indestructible. Wear/tear may be expected given the nature of the intended use. How long they last is typically equal to the amount and intensity of the chewing, as well as other variables (such as jaw strength, stress/anxiety levels, if other sensory strategies are in place, etc.). While for some people a chew tool will last forever, for others with heavy/aggressive oral needs, they may go through it very quickly. Please supervise at all times, regularly inspect the chew, and replace if necessary if the item shows signs of wear and tear.

ARK's Bear Bottle Kit
€18.95*
ARK's Bear Bottle Kit is a fun and friendly way to make drinking easier for beginners and/or children with oral motor difficulties. It's also an excellent way to transition babies straight from bottles to straw drinking - skipping sippy cups altogether! Many speech therapists believe that sippy cups can promote improper tongue positioning and an immature swallowing pattern, while straw drinking can help strengthen the mouth muscles and encourage tongue retraction, cheek tension, lip closure, and proper oral positioning.The Bear Bottle features a unique valve that controls the direction of fluid - liquid flows up into the straw, but does not flow back down. Simply squeeze the bear's belly until fluid reaches the top of the straw and release. Fluid will stay at the top of the straw, thereby decreasing the effort required to drink. Highly recommended for individuals who tend to aspirate or have a weak suck with difficulties generating and maintaining suction.Kit includes: 1 easy-to-squeeze Bear Bottle with a snap-close cap1 Select-Flow Valvestraws - 2 tubing straws1 yellow Lip Blok® These tubing straws are durable alternative to traditional straws, and the Lip Blok prevents kids from biting on the straw or putting it too far into their mouths.Product descriptionMade out of non-toxic, food grade materialsDishwasher-safe Holds 236ml of fluidBottle measures approximately 5cm x 6,3cm x 15,2cmColors may vary Not recommended for carbonated beveragesRecommended for thin liquids (water, milk, juice without pulp, etc).Compatible with most standard 0,63cm diameter straws Lid colors may vary.
ARK's Probe
€12.45*
Designed by speech-language pathologist Debra C. Lowsky, MS, CCC-SLP, ARK's Oral Motor Probe™ is an excellent tool for oral motor treatment and sensory development.It has a rectangular tip that is bumpy on one side, striated on the other, and smooth along the edges. These textured surfaces provide tactile input, awareness, and sensation. Use it to stimulate the gums, palate, lips, cheek, and tongue by tapping, stroking, and applying gentle pressure.ARK's Probe was specifically designed with safety in mind. The handle is made out of a hard, medical grade plastic. Then the same soft, medical grade material as the Grabber® is molded through and around a loop in at the end of the handle so that the tip will NOT fall off. At less than 13cm in length, they’re super lightweight, compact, and portable. Ideal for oral motor exercises, gum massage, and sensory stimulation whether you’re at home, in therapy, or anywhere in between.Made in the USA, medical grade, FDA compliant

Myo Munchee
From
€84.95*
The Myo Munchee is a small chewing device made from soft medical grade silicone that serves as a functional tool to promote oral health.At first glance, it resembles a dental splint, but a closer look reveals small silicone nubs that provide a gentle massage for gums and teeth. The handle, which sits in the middle of the device, lies comfortably between the lips and makes handling easier.The Original premise of the developement of the Myo Munchee was for oral hygiene and gum health. However, the inventor, Dr. Kevin Bourke, discovered that chewing on this device has much more far-reaching benefits. Chewing not only strengthens the jaw muscles, but also exercises the rest of the facial and oral muscles, improving overall health and function. Just like other muscle groups in the body, the jaw, mouth and face need regular exercise to stay healthy. Use and benefits Daily chewing for just 10 minutes promotes tone and function of the lips, face and jaw. The Myo Munchee also supports orofacial myofunctional therapy goals, including
Lip closure, nasal breathing, tongue resting position and Physiological swallowing pattern. These aspects are particularly important as modern lifestyles, such as a soft and highly processed diet, reduced exercise and fewer nutrients, have a negative impact on the natural development of the mouth. The Myo Munchee offers a simple solution to support the natural development of oral health through targeted training. You can see how to use the Myo Munchee in this video. You can find the right size here.To get the best results with the Myo Munchee and to find the right size, please contact us at info@logicana.at or find a Myo Munchee practitioner near you.The Myo Munchee is suitable for various purposes:Soother replacementPromotion of oral hygieneReduction of an open bite and tongue thrustSupport for bracestreatment
Children with special needs can also benefit from it.Conclusion:
The Myo Munchee is simple to use, easy to clean and promotes healthy habits through the natural action of chewing. The lower third of the face in particular, which is responsible for important functions such as eating, drinking, swallowing, breathing and speaking, benefits from good muscle tone, balanced function and the strengthening of muscles and bones.

ARK's Bite Tube Tip (Smooth)
€13.95*
Developed in partnership with Shari Martin, OTR/L, ARK's Bite Tube Tip for the Z-Vibe® is specially designed for targeted, functional biting and chewing practice. It's much like the Bite-n-Chew Tip XL, only with a hollow center for food. Simply fill the tube with soft foods, such as applesauce, yogurt, stage 1 baby foods, etc. Use the Bite Tube Tip to establish the concept of needing to bite and chew to eat food. It's also an excellent way to incorporate real food as you practice the motor planning of eating skills. The Bite Tube Tip comes in two different versions: smooth (lavender) or textured (blue). For individuals with oral defensiveness, start with the smooth tip and gradually progress to the textured one. For individuals who need more proprioceptive input to the mouth, the textured one provides both tactile input and added resistance. For individuals with a weak bite, start with a hollow Bite Tube Tip and progress to a solid Bite-n-Chew Tip (Bite-n-Chew Tip sold separately). Use any of these tips to improve chewing motion and jaw strength. If desired, you can trim the Bite Tube Tip to a shorter length with a pair of scissors. A wonderful addition to any feeding / oral motor therapy toolbox!Made in the USA, medical grade, FDA compliantNo BPA, PVC, lead, phthalates, or latexMeasures approximately 7,6cm long and just under 1,2cm in diameterThis listing is for the lavender Hard Bite Tube Tip (lavender) - sold individuallyDishwasher-safe

ARK's Y-Chew®
€13.45*
ARK's Y-Chew® is an innovative Y-shaped oral motor chew tool.It has three different extensions to chew on, each with its own texture (smooth, ribbed, and bumpy) for a varied sensory experience. It comes in 3 color-coded toughness levels:Soft/Standard - These are the softest ones with the most “squishiness” and “give” to them. Recommended for mild chewers and/or beginners practicing biting/chewing skillsMedium Firm / XT - XT stands for "Xtra Tough," recommended for moderate chewing. These are firmer, but still chewy.Very Firm / XXT - XXT stands for "Xtra Xtra Tough," recommended for more avid chewing. These are the most firm and provide the most resistance to the jaw. No chew tool is indestructible, but these are very tough. Use the Y-Chew as a safe alternative to biting/chewing on fingers, shirts, and other hazardous non-food items. It can also be used:As an oral fidget for sensory seekers craving oral input and stimulation To exercise the lips, tongue, cheeks, and especially the jaw, allowing the mouth to learn and grow strong through oral exploration To decrease thumb sucking, tooth grinding, and finger/knuckle bitingTo practice biting/chewing skills without the risk of choking To improve jaw strength, jaw stability, tongue movement, and other feeding skills To satisfy the urge to chew for individuals who are fed through a g-tube To build oral tone, strength, mobility, control, coordination, and endurance To decrease oral sensitivities, oral defensiveness, and food aversionsARK manufactures these chew tools in the USA! They're medical grade, FDA compliant, and contain NO lead, phthalates, PVC, BPA, or latex. The handle measures 6,35cm and the extensions measure 4,45cm and 3,18cm respectively. All ARK products are dishwasher safe, can be boiled, cleaned in aldehyde-free disinfectant, or simply washed with mild soap.CAUTION: This product is not a toy. Recommended for children 3 years and up. Although these chew tools are sturdy and durable, no chew tool is indestructible. Wear/tear may be expected given the nature of the intended use. How long they last is typically equal to the amount and intensity of the chewing, as well as other variables (such as jaw strength, stress/anxiety levels, if other sensory strategies are in place, etc.). While for some people a chew tool will last forever, for others with heavy/aggressive oral needs, they may go through it very quickly.

Nasal Dilator
€14.00*
Quantity:
1x
TRAIN HARDER, RUN FASTER, BREATHE LIKE A CHAMPION Nose breathing during exercise boosts power, strength and endurance. It protects you from upper airway infection — the #1 cause of sickness in athletes. And it supports quicker recovery and ease of movement, reducing your risk of injury.
But when training gets tough, nose breathing can feel impossible. As exercise intensifies, you instinctively open your mouth to get more air into your lungs.
And that’s the defining moment… When you could be pushing yourself to the max, but instead, you hit a wall.KEY FEATURES:
Better airflow – gentle stenting action opens each nostril to reduce nasal resistance during sports activityBetter than Breathe Right strips – nostril openers are more effective than nasal strips (Matteo et al., 2019)Lightweight for comfort, no skin irritation or nosebleedsSoft outer surface holds Nasal Dilator securely inside your nosePatent pendingPack contains 4 dilators (2 x medium and 2 x large)Each nasal dilator can be used for between 3 and 6 months, for any length of time during the day. Wash between uses with warm soapy water to maintain nasal hygiene.
ARK's Textured Grabber® P Tube
€12.45*
ARK's Textured Grabber® P Tube is just like the original Textured Grabber, but about 5cm of the stem is hollow instead of solid.The tube-like extension is perfect for individuals who want their chew tool to "collapse" more, whether as a sensory chew and/or in feeding therapy. As an oral motor tool, use it to practice biting/chewing skills without the risk of choking, build jaw strength and stability, and exercise the mouth muscles. Put puréed foods inside the tube for functional biting/chewing practice so that the individual gets a taste of food when they bite down. Because the hollow tube provides less resistance than the solid original Grabbers, this is a great "starter" chew tool for individuals with very limited jaw strength. The bumps and nubs help provide extra sensory input and tactile feedback.Like all ARK chews, it comes in 3 color-coded toughness levels:Standard - This is the softest level, recommended for mild chewing and/or individuals with very limited jaw strength XT / Medium Firm - This is the middle level, which we call XT ("Xtra Tough"). It's firmer, but still fairly chewy.XXT / Very Firm - This is the toughest level, which we call XXT ("Xtra Xtra Tough"). This level provides the most resistance/feedback to the jaw. Please note: Because it is hollow, the extension will feel much softer than other ARK chews in the same level! These hollow chews are not recommended as a long lasting option for avid/aggressive chewers. Check out any other solid chews for longer lasting options. The Y-Chew or the regular Grabber are better suited for stronger chewing.Each Grabber® measures about 5cm across the loop, 13cm long, and 1,3cm thick. Made in the USA Designed, manufactured, and assembled in the USA by ARK Therapeutic. Medical grade, FDA compliant, NO lead, phthalates, PVC, BPA, or latex.All ARK products are dishwasher safe, can be boiled, cleaned in aldehyde-free disinfectant, or simply washed with mild soap.CAUTION: This product is not a toy. Recommended for children 2.5 years and up. Although these chew tools are sturdy and durable, no chew tool is indestructible. Wear/tear may be expected given the nature of the intended use.

Please supervise at all times, regularly inspect the chew, and replace if necessary if the item shows signs of wear and tear.
