Chewing Matters: Myo Munchee for Growing Kids

Myo Munchee is a simple yet powerful chewing device that harnesses the natural benefits of chewing to support healthy oral development from an early age. It is a habit eliminator and oral muscle strengthener that encourages proper jaw growth, nasal breathing, and strong oral muscles. Early intervention with a Myo Munchee sets the stage for better airway health and can help prevent many common issues, such as overcrowding, malocclusion, speech difficulties, and poor oral posture.

What Is a Munchee, and Why Should I Chew on It?

The Myo Munchee is a small chewing device made from soft, medical-grade silicone that looks like a mouthguard. It is designed to fit comfortably in the mouth and features gentle silicone prongs that massage the teeth and gums while encouraging natural jaw movement.

With just 10 minutes of daily use, the Myo Munchee can improve lip strength, jaw stability, and facial muscle tone in children (and adults). It also encourages proper oral posture by promoting lip closure, correct tongue positioning, and a healthy swallowing pattern, all supporting nasal breathing and long-term oral health.

Why Does Chewing Matter?

Chewing isn’t just about eating—it’s essential for healthy facial development, strong jaw growth, and proper oral function. But in today’s world, kids are chewing less than ever.

In primitive cultures, diets were filled with tough, fibrous foods that naturally exercised the jaw, encouraged proper swallowing, and supported healthy breathing. Modern processed diets, however, require much less chewing, which can lead to underdeveloped jaws, misaligned teeth, and even airway issues.

By encouraging proper chewing, we can not only support oral health but also digestion, nasal breathing, concentration, memory, and overall well-being, laying the foundation for a healthier future.

The Benefits of Myo Munchee

Promotes Overall Oral Health. Myo Munchee can help with swallowing, chewing, and breathing. It also aids in dental alignment and jaw growth.
Supports Healthy Jaw Development (Occlusion). The Myo Munchee brings the jaws into a balanced occlusion and trains the muscles of the lips, face, and jaws to rest in this correct occlusion posture. This encourages proper jaw growth and alignment, reducing the risk of orthodontic issues.
Helps with speech. The Myo Munchee can help develop the muscles used for speech and articulation.
Helps Correct Bad Habits. Myo Munchee is a "habit corrector" that discourages thumb sucking, tongue thrusting, pacifier use, and other habits that can negatively impact dental and airway health.
Promotes Nasal Breathing and Healthy Sleep. The Myo Muchee helps transition from mouth breathing to nasal breathing. It is an effective tool for addressing sleep-disordered breathing and snoring.
Aids in Digestion. The Myo Munchee can help kickstart digestion and salivary glands.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Myo Munchee?

The Myo Munchee is a chewable device shaped like a mouthguard and made of medical-grade silicone. The Myo Munchees purpose is to exercise the muscles of the face, lips and jaws, promote nasal breathing, and assist in oral growth and development.

How do I use a Myo Munchee?

Start by holding the Myo Munchee in your mouth, with lips sealed, breathing through your nose, and swallowing saliva. It can take some time for the muscles and soft tissues of the face to relax – so start slowly. Lips closed is the first step towards building sufficient lip strength. Then, you can progress to munching.

How often should I use my Myo Munchee?

Generally, it is recommended to build up to chewing on your Myo Munchee for 5-10 minutes twice a day. Your certified Munchee practitioner will provide specific recommendations to meet your individual oral health goals.

How can it help with occlusion/malocclusion?

Occlusion refers to how the upper and lower teeth fit together when the jaws are closed, whilst malocclusion refers to the misalignment of the teeth and jaws. The Myo Munchee helps bring your jaws into a balanced occlusion and trains the muscles of the lips, face, and jaws to rest in this correct occlusion posture.

Can it help replace pacifier use or thumb sucking?

Yes! Myo Munchee is a great tool to help children transition away from pacifiers or even thumb-sucking. It provides a satisfying alternative for oral stimulation, which can reduce your child’s reliance on a pacifier while also offering several benefits, such as promoting natural oral function and supporting healthy jaw development.

Can adults benefit from the Myo Munchee?

Yes! The Myo Munchee is an excellent tool for exercising the lips, face, and jaws. Just as one would go to the gym to stay fit, it’s important to exercise our jaw muscles to keep them strong and healthy. Chewing the Myo Munchee as an adult is an effective method for supporting the function of the lips, face, and jaws while also promoting nasal breathing.
