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.

It can easily be incorporated into family life as part of the daily routine - it is as easy as Ready-Set-Chew. We recommend using Munchee for 10 minutes active chewing during the day. 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.

Transition from Tween to Adult is usually between 12-14 years of age, however please consider age along with the inter-canine width measurement. It is always best to consult with your practitioner on the right size munchee for you based on the outcomes you are working towards.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.

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.

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. Dishwasher-safeSold in a set (1 orange, 1 magenta, and 1 teal)Caution: this therapeutic tool should be used under adult supervision at all times.
