The Myomunchee is an appliance that I use in conjunction with orofacial myology therapy for any age group, or as a preventative measure for younger children, babies or toddlers. It’s a soft silicone appliance which brings the jaws together and activates the chewing muscles. It’s clever, easy and reasonably priced.

Alternatively check out the Myomunchee website yourself.
