For Growing Smiles
Healthy Oral Habits, Five Minutes at a Time
The Myo Munchee is a small chewing device made from soft, medical-grade silicone. Chewed for about five minutes twice a day, it's designed to strengthen the muscles of the lips, cheeks and jaw, and to encourage healthy habits like nasal breathing, correct tongue posture and swallowing — from infancy upwards.

Strengthens Oral Muscles
Active chewing works the lips, cheeks and jaw, building the muscle tone that supports healthy facial and dental development.
Encourages Nasal Breathing
Keeping the lips closed around the device while chewing reinforces a proper lip seal and breathing through the nose.
Supports Tongue Posture & Swallowing
Designed to encourage a correct resting tongue position and a healthier swallowing pattern.
A Simple Daily Routine
Just five minutes, twice a day, at home — easy for young children to build into their everyday routine.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked
What age can my child start using the Myo Munchee?
Myo Munchee comes in sizes for different stages, from around six months for babies through to older children and teenagers. We'll recommend the right size after assessing your child.
How often is it used?
Typically about five minutes of active chewing, twice a day — with the lips closed around the device and chewing evenly on both sides.
Is it safe and easy to keep clean?
It's made from flexible, medical-grade silicone. Rinse it with cold water after each use; it can also be sterilised by placing it in boiled water for about 60 seconds.
How is it different from Myobrace®?
The Myo Munchee is a simple chewing trainer that can be used from a young age to build healthy oral habits. Myobrace® is a more structured programme of appliances and myofunctional exercises for growing children. Depending on your child's needs, they may be used separately or together.
Does it replace braces?
The Myo Munchee supports healthy oral function and habits; it isn't a substitute for orthodontic treatment where that's needed. An assessment tells us what's appropriate for your child.
