ARK's Chew Bangle provides a safe, wearable, discreet, and cool solution for those who need to chew.  It has a unique 'twist-on' style that makes it very easy to take on and off the wrist as needed for oral motor stimulation throughout the day - a great option for those who can't resist chewing on the clasp/cord of necklaces.ARK's Bracelet comes in 3 color-coded toughness levels:Soft (red) - This is the softest option, for mild to moderate chewing.XT (lime green,black) - XT stands for "Xtra Tough," recommended for moderate to avid chewing.XXT (royal blue, forest green) - XXT stands for "Xtra Xtra Tough." This one is VERY firm, recommended for avid chewing, or for those who like to chew on very firm items.

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.

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!

ARK's Bendy Bite™ doubles as both a fidget and a chew!Chew it, twist it, bend it. Fold one arm inside the center circle and out the other side for a loop of fidgety fun (note: this works best with the standard and XT levels. It can also be done with the firmer XXT level but is more challenging!).At 8,9cm wide and 0,75cm thick, it's one of the thinnest handheld chews. Use this oral sensory solution as a safe alternative to chewing on pencils, shirts, fingers, etc. and to help calm, focus, and self-regulate.Like all other ARK chews it comes 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"). This is the toughest level.Please note: Because of how thin this chew is, even the XXT level may not be a long lasting option for moderate to avid chewing.

ARK's Baby Grabber® (Textured) is just like the Baby Grabber but with added bumps and nubs for extra sensory input. Each Baby Grabber is designed to calm and soothe infants, who are in the early stages of development. At approximately 5-6 months, babies start mouthing and chewing in order to strengthen their mouth muscles and exercise their lips, tongue, and jaw. This oral exploration prepares them to eat solid foods and to make speech sounds later on. The Baby Grabber® provides a safe outlet for babies to develop these skills. It can also assist in self-organization, in the transition from puréed to textured foods, and in soothing sore gums. The Baby Grabber is smooth on one half and textured on the other half for varying sensory input and tactile stimulation to the gums and mouth. For orally sensitive little ones - start by presenting the smooth half and eventually progress to the textured half. Measures approximately 11,2cm in length and just under 6,4cm inches across the loop. The light blue, yellow, and pink Baby Grabbers are soft and chewy. The turquoise Baby Grabber is firmer yet still chewy and pliable. Teething babies may prefer the firmer option, as it provides added resistance and input to the gums. Baby Grabbers are recommended for children up to the age of 2 and a half years. After that, children should graduate to the regular Grabber or Y-Chew.Exact color hues may vary slightly. 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: Although these chew tools are sturdy and durable, no chew tool is indestructible. Some individuals (particularly those with heavy oral needs and aggressive biting/chewing) may be able to damage the tools. Please supervise at all times and replace if necessary, when the item shows signs of wear and tear. Not for aggressive chewing.

ARK's Baby Guitar is a fun and functional way for babies and toddlers to mouth, chew, and sooth sore gums.The charming guitar shape is easy for little hands to hold, with a stem to reach the back molar area. The bumps and ridges on the stem resemble the strings/knobs of a real guitar, while also providing extra sensory input. ARK's Baby Guitar is just like the regular Guitar, only a tad smaller, with a shorter stem for smaller mouths. The baby guitars can also be precooled in the refrigerator. Please do not put in the freezer, that can lead to frostbite! Soft & chewy Measures about 10cm long, 6,3cm wide, and 1cm thick. The stem is just over 2,5cm long. Wash with mild soap and water.

ARK's Baby Tetra-Bite® is designed to calm and soothe infants who are in the early stages of development.At approximately 5-6 months of age, babies start mouthing and chewing in order to strengthen their mouth muscles and exercise their lips, tongue, and jaw. This oral exploration prepares them to eat solid foods and to make speech sounds later on. The Baby Tetra-Bite™ provides a safe outlet for babies to develop these skills.Babies can mouth and explore 4 different "arms" - each with a different texture for lots of varied sensory input. The two rectangular arms have ribs: one with horizontal ribs that wrap around the extension, and one with long ribs that run the length of the extension. The two rectangular arms have bumps: one with mild round bumps, and one with zigzag bumps that provide more input. With all these different shapes and textures, the Tetra-Bite® helps introduce babies to new sensations orally, which helps prepare them for solid foods later on and also helps decrease and/or prevent oral sensitivities. The Baby Tetra-Bite® measures just under 12,7cm across. Each extension measures just over 2,5cm long and about 1cm thick - perfect for reaching the back molars where we need to chew the most.The yellow, blue and magenta Baby Tetra-Bites are soft and chewy. The turquoise, pink and teal Baby Tetra-Bite is firmer yet still chewy and pliable. Teething babies may prefer the firmer option, as it provides added resistance and input to the gums.Baby Tetra-Bites are recommended for children up to the age of 2 and a half years. After that, children should graduate to the regular Tetra-Bites, Grabbers or Y-Chews. Made 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: although these chew tools are sturdy and durable, no chew tool is indestructible.

Regularly inspect the chew and discard at first sign of wear/tear. Not for aggressive chewing.

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.
