The Innovative Myofunctional Chewing Tool for Effective Jaw Training 😁🦷
The ARK's Y-Chew® is a versatile, therapeutic oral motor tool designed to strengthen the jaw and support lips, cheeks, and tongue function.
Its “Y” shape offers three distinct extensions – each with a different texture (smooth, ridged, and nubbed) – providing varied sensory input to meet diverse therapeutic needs.
🎯 Applications
- Trains jaw strength, stability, and movement coordination
- Serves as a safe and controlled alternative to nail biting, thumb sucking, or chewing on clothing
- Supports sensory regulation and chewing needs – especially for individuals on tube feeding
- Can be used in therapy for lip closure training – similar to ARK’s Jaw Grading Tips
✅ Toughness Levels
- Standard (soft) – for mild chewing
- XT (medium) – for moderate chewing
- XXT (firm) – for strong, intensive chewing
