If you or your child (babies to teens) experience one or more of the following, a Myo Munchee can help:

• Mouth breathing during the day or sleep

• Snoring 

• Frequent drooling or dribbling

• Picky or messy eating

• Thumb sucking or pacifier dependence

• Misaligned teeth or crowded jaws

• Speech difficulties

• Recurrent ear infections or sinus congestion

• Poor sleep quality

• History of breastfeeding issues or tongue/lip tie release 

• Jaw pain, TMJ issues, or teeth grinding

• Chronic mouth breathing

• Weak lip seal or facial muscle fatigue

• Desire for preventive oral health maintenance as we age

If any of these resonate, an assesment with our Certified Practitioner, Dr Kristina can help. Remember, early intervention in children can prevent more significant issues later in life.

In primitive cultures, children naturally exercised their jaws by chewing on nuts, seeds, bones, and raw vegetables — a daily workout that stimulated robust bone growth, widened the palate, and sculpted strong, symmetrical facial structures. Sadly, today’s modern processed diet has stripped away that essential effort, outsourcing chewing, swallowing, and natural oral movement to softer, easier foods and leading to underdeveloped jaws, narrow airways, crowded teeth, mouth breathing, and a cascade of downstream issues like poor sleep, speech challenges, and even reduced facial aesthetics.Item description

• Lips closed, nose breathing and tongue positioned on the roof of the mouth at rest

• Eating, drinking, chewing, swallowing and breathing should all be managed with ease with the mouth closed

• Speech is clear and age appropriate

• Saliva is swallowed and well controlled

• Teeth are aligned and jaws are balanced

The diagram on this page shows the difference between unbalanced and balanced oral posture.

Regular use of the Myo Munchee offers a range of advantages for oral, respiratory, and overall health. Some of these include:

• Improved muscle tone and strength: It exercises the lips, tongue, and jaw muscles, leading to better coordination for eating, speaking, and swallowing.

• Enhanced jaw and facial development: Especially in growing children, it promotes proper growth, reducing the risk of misalignment or crowding of teeth.

• Better breathing and sleep: By encouraging nasal breathing and lip sealing, it can help reduce mouth breathing, which is linked to snoring, sleep apnea, and sinus issues.

• Oral health support: The chewing action massages gums, cleans teeth naturally, and may alleviate teeth grinding or clenching.

• Holistic wellness: From a chiropractic perspective, stronger oral muscles can improve posture, reduce neck tension, and support airway function, contributing to better energy and focus.

Many users notice improvements in just a few weeks with consistent use, and it's a non-invasive, affordable option compared to more complex interventions.
