ARK's Flower Chew Necklace
Product number:
FLOWER100Red
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.

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 Blocks for Jaw Grading & Stability
€24.95*
ARK’s Jaw Grading Bite Blocks are a great complement to any oral motor tool box. Specially designed to work on jaw grading and stability, each arm has a different thickness to practice various jaw heights:The orange arms are 3mm and 6mm thickThe magenta arms are .7mm and 1cm thick The teal arms are 1,3cm and 1,5cm thick What is jaw grading and stability? Jaw grading is the ability to have controlled movements of the jaw to various jaw heights needed for speech and feeding skills. For example, note the difference in your jaw when saying “eee” vs “ahhh”. Or, imagine biting into a cracker vs a sandwich/burger. Your jaw has to open to different heights to accommodate those different sounds and foods. Jaw stability is the strength, coordination, and endurance needed to do so without the jaw sliding forward and/or sideways. Each Bite Block set comes with instructions including four exercises to help work on these skills. These Bite Blocks are firm for good resistance during jaw exercises, but not 100% rigid to be gentle on the teeth (for softer options to work on chewing skills, see the Grabber and/or Y-Chew). Each arm also has gentle sensory bumps to grip the teeth.medical grade, FDA & CE compliantNo BPA, PVC, lead, phthalates, or latexEach block measures 18,4cm long in total, with each "arm" measuring about 7,4cm long and 1,3cm wide.

Natural Rubber Tube
From
€5.95*
Natural rubber tube from Stomax (Stöhrmann)This rubber offers an interesting way to explore the mouth or to generate sensory stimuli for the hands and gripping. Training with the chewing tube is also a classic among the speech therapy tools for myofunctional therapy. Chewing on the tube trains chewing and biting functions and supports jaw development. Logical recommendation:Order 1m of tube, cut to size OR tie a knot and offer it to your child (see demo video in the image preview).
Example of use for slightly older children or adults: Put the ends of your chewing tube together, press firmly around 2cm behind the ends and let your patients chew on it - the ends of the chewing tube may already be sucking onto the edges of the tongue - ideal for training the lateralization of the tongue. Clean the tube by boiling it for 1-2 minutes or washing it with mild soap. Then let it dry and do not seal it airtight immediately. Price per 1m = 5.95 euros Dimension: 5.0 x 2.5mmCAUTION: The natural rubber hose from Stomax is NOT a toy and should ALWAYS be offered to babies and small children under the supervision of parents. Replace the hose if there are signs of wear or tear.
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!
