Handheld Chews

Invented by Debra C. Lowsky, MS, CCC-SLP, ARK's Textured Grabber® is a textured version of the popular Grabber® oral motor chew tool.The innovative P shape design has an easy-to-hold loop, with a long extension for reaching the back molars. It also features 3 different surfaces to chew on: one smooth, one with circular bumps, and one with rectangular bumps. These textures simulate the feel of actual food for realistic non-food chewing practice. They also add extra tactile sensation to the lips, cheeks, gums, and tongue to help desensitize the mouth, decrease oral defensiveness/aversions, and transition individuals with sensory issues from puréed to textured foods. The Grabber® can also be used:As an oral fidget for sensory seekers craving stimulation and proprioceptive inputAs a safe alternative to chewing on hands, knuckles, shirts, pencils, etc.As an alternative to tooth-grinding and/or thumb-sucking To help decrease oral defensiveness and food aversionsTo practice biting/chewing without the risk of chokingTo work on jaw strength and stability and oral motor skillsTo build oral strength, mobility, and controlTo satisfy the urge to chew for individuals who are fed through a g-tubeARK Textured Grabber® comes in 3 color-coded toughness levels:Standard (red or magenta) - These are the softest ones with the most “squishiness” and “give” to them. Recommended for mild chewers and/or beginners practicing biting/chewing skills Medium Firm / XT (lime green or teal) - XT stands for "Xtra Tough," recommended for moderate chewing. These are firmer, but still chewy. Very Firm / XXT (royal blue or forest green) - 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.ARK manufactures the Grabber® in the USA! It's medical grade, FDA compliant, and contains NO lead, phthalates, PVC, BPA, or latex. Measures approximately 13cm lengthwise, just under 5cm across the loop, and 1,3cm thick.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. Please supervise at all times, regularly inspect the chew, and replace if necessary if the item shows signs of wear and tear.

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. **Important note: because it is hollow, the extension will feel much softer than other ARK chews in the same level** Each Grabber® measures about 5cm across the loop, 13cm long, and 1,3cm thick. Please note: 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.Made in the USA Designed, manufactured, and assembled in the USA by ARK Therapeutic.

The best of both worlds! ARK's Grabber® Brick "Chewy P" is a happy combination of two classics: P-shaped like the Grabber, but with sensory bumps like the Brick Stick. It has lots of features for sensory seekers to love: an easy-to-grab loop, a long extension to reach the back molars, large bumps on the front side, and small bumps on the back side for varying sensory input.It's a safe outlet for anyone who needs to chew, and an effective way to help calm, self-regulate, and focus.

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 in any given shape.Please note: the Grabber Brick is a overall a little bit larger in size (about 5cm across the loop, 13cm long, and 1,3cm thick) than the original Grabber. It also has a more rectangular shape compared to the original Grabber's more rounded edges.Medical grade, FDA compliant, NO lead, phthalates, PVC, BPA, or latex.Caution: This product is not a toy.

ARK's Bite Tube is a hollow chew tool with a different diameter on each end. Each end also has a different texture - bumps on one end and ribs on the other for lots of sensory input. Use it as a safe alternative for anyone who needs to chew. They can also be used as an oral motor tool to work on jaw strength and stability. 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, to build jaw strength and stability, and to exercise the mouth muscles.Put puréed foods inside the tube for functional biting/chewing practice - when the individual bites down, they will be rewarded with a taste of food. The two different diameters allow you to work on varying jaw heights. Because the hollow tube provides less resistance than solid chews like the Grabber, this is a great "starter" chew tool for individuals with very limited jaw strength.Each chew measures about 12,7cm long overall, 1,3cm in diameter on one end, and 1cm in diameter on the other end.

Chewing gum and working on your muscles at the same time?This is a very frequently asked question when it is explained that we humans chew far too little.Chewing ordinary chewing gum, which usually just sits in the cheek pockets after a short time and is often chewed from time to time with the lips open as a pastime, has no proven effect on the jaw muscles. With JawLiner® chewing gum this is different - you can now incorporate chewing gum into your daily routine and train your muscles unnoticed and without additional accessories! JawLiner® chewing gum is much tougher/harder than ordinary chewing gum and therefore also has positive effects on your muscles! LOGICANA RECOMMENDATION:Chew every other day for a maximum of 10 minutes Close your lips while chewingEnjoy the refreshing taste of the chewing gumSuitable from the age of 14 The advantages of JAWLINER chewing gum: 100% vegan100% sugar-free 5-10 minutes of chewing with closed lips trains over 80 muscles in the face. The best results are achieved in combination with the Mewing Ring to train the physiological resting position of the tongue! In our society, there is hardly any food that needs to be chewed properly. Most of the food we eat is cooked or processed in some way. This provides relatively little activity for our facial muscles and therefore also causes our jaws to shrink and teeth to become misaligned. Long, narrow faces are the result of mouth breathing and insufficient use of the facial and jaw muscles. Wide smiles, strong jawbones and the famous jawline are often cited as arguments for aesthetics and attractiveness. Although these aspects should not be neglected, we at LOGICANA stand above all for health, well-being and function. In the case of physiological jaw development and nasal breathing, function and aesthetics are on the same level.Information: This is a particularly hard/tenacious fitness chewing gum, where every chewing process strains the jaw and facial muscles. We therefore recommend chewing the gum for no longer than 10-15 minutes every other day. Product Information:Chewing gum without sugar. With sweeteners and different flavors. Ingredients: Chewing mass, sweetener: maltitol; flavors, thickener: gum arabic; Coating agent: carnauba wax; anti-caking agent: talc.

Myo Munchee Mini age guide: 18 months - 4 yearsTransition Ages: a child older than 4 years who has an inter-canine width measurement of less than 30mm may be better suited to starting with a Myo Munchee Mini and then progressing to the Myo Munchee Junior once they are able to maintain a good lip seal, breathing through their nose and controlling the saliva while chewing their Mini.Myo Munchee Mini is safe, non- toxic and comfortable, made of medical-grade silicone with a handle that makes it easy and stable for very small children to use.Soft and snug, Mini Munchee gives the little ones a head start to healthy habits through the natural action of chewing. The lower third of the face has important work to do with the functions of eating, drinking and swallowing as well as breathing and speaking. It is essential that there is good tone, function and balance of the muscles and bones to perform these important functions. Myo Munchee Mini is great to use for the following:dummy/pacifier replacementoral hygiene toolreduce open bite and tongue thrustspecial needs childrenPre-orthodontic trainer.The Myo Munchee Mini is a chewing device that is simple to use. For children aged 18 months to 4 years can be easily implemented into daily routine, like brushing your teeth or having a bath. To get started, begin using your Munchee for short periods of time often- once the strength has been developed increase to 3 minutes twice daily. Munching while Mum or Dad are reading a story is a great way to get into a good routine, in the bath can also be a fun time to Munch. Find a good time to sit with your child so that you can ensure that lips are together and they are keeping the Munchee in the right place while chewing. This will ensure they get optimal benefits of Chewing as well as preserving the life of the appliance.It is estimated that at least 80 percent of airway growth will occur in the first 6 years of life. Chewing a Munchee is a great way to positively influence the growth, balance and function of the face and jaws at this critical time.Mini Munching promotes nose breathing and correct swallow patterns which are essential movements for optimal human genetic expression.NOTE: Age in conjunction with your inter-canine width measurement is your best guide to sizing a Myo Munchee Mini, however there are many variables including low tone, underdeveloped or oral sensory issues that mean it may be best to also start an older child who may be around 6yrs with an inter-canine width measurement of less than 30mm with the Mini.

Myo Munchee Junior age guide: 4 years - 8 yearsMyo Munchee Junior Inter-Canine width measurement: 30-35mmTransition Ages: consider age in conjunction with the child's inter-canine width measurement to determine the best size Munchee. For example if your child is 6 yrs old but has a inter-canine width measurement of less than 30mm it may be best to start with the Myo Munchee Mini until your child is able to maintain good lip seal, breathing through their nose, chewing correctly and managing their saliva before progressing to the Myo Munchee Junior.The Myo Munchee Junior is the perfect size for children aged 4 years up to 8 years. At age 8 years plus or for younger children with larger jaw structure, it would be recommended to be guided by your health practitioner as to best size and guidelines for use.If there are obvious signs of an unbalanced bite and crooked teeth above the age of 6 years it is best to work with a dental practitioner who has insights into how best to optimise facial growth, function and future development. Please take a look at our Practitioner Listing Page to find someone in your area.Myo Munchee Junior is safe, non- toxic and comfortable, made of medical-grade silicone and comes with a handle that makes it easy and stable for children to use.Munching at this age is a great way to reinforce the importance of good oral habits through the natural action of chewing. At this age it may be apparent that there is weakness in the muscles of the lower third of the face. This may present as issues with the important functions of speaking, eating and breathing. It is essential to have good tone in the lower third of the face to perform these vital functions optimally.Myo Munchee Junior is a great adjunct tool for the following:Oral hygiene - Munchee has been shown in studies (Osaka Dental University) to be as effective as a toothbrush in cleaning the teeth in this age group.Myofunctional therapy tool - excellent adjunct tool for all myofunctional therapy and speech programs looking to improve the oral tone and function.Early interceptive orthodontic tool - to assist with balance and function of the muscles of the lips, face and jaws.

This can be done in small increments during the day to start and once they are comfortable they can do 5 minutes chewing twice per day.NOTE: Consider age in conjunction with inter-canine width measurement to sizing a Munchee, however there are many variables including low tone, underdeveloped or oral sensory issues that mean it may be best to start with the smaller size and progress to the next size as the child becomes more comfortable. If in doubt it is always best to start smaller, have the child enjoy the experience and work your way up to the next size.

Myo Munchee TweenAge guidelines: 8-14yrs & adults with narrow jaw structure Myo Munchee Tween Inter-Canine width measurement: 33-37mm.Myo Munchee Tween is our latest addition to our chewing range to better accommodate the children from 8 years through to 12 years old or older children and adults with a smaller jaw structure.

Natural rubber tube from Stomax (Stöhrmann)Training with the chewing tube is also a classic therapy tool for myofunctional therapy. Chewing on the tube trains chewing and biting functions and supports jaw development.Logicana recommends: Place the ends of your chewing tube together, press firmly about 2cm behind the ends and let your patients chew on it- the ends of the chewing tube may already be sucking on the edges of the tongue-ideal for training the lateralization of the tongue.  Price per 1m Dimension: 5,0 x 2,5mm
