Junior Myo Munchee
Myo Munchee Junior age guide: 4 years - 8 years
The Myo Munchee is an oral device that helps strengthen lip and facial muscles, helps correct breathing patterns and improves the health of teeth and gums, all by doing something incredibly simple...chewing
Managing your Munchee
Daily chewing for as little as 10 mins is a simple and inexpensive part of preventative dental care and hygiene. To get maximum benefit and usage from your Munchee, simply follow the steps below:
Step 1: Rinse your Munchee off in fresh water
Step 2: Place the Munchee in your mouth with the small lip indent at the top
Step 3: Keep your lips together, both now and at all times while use, and breath through the nose
Step 4: Chew and munch gently up and down and in a circular motion, swallow saliva as needed, but keep the lips together
Step 5: Start by chewing for 1min, twice a day for 1 week
Step 6: Build daily by 1 min until you are able to chew twice a day for 10 mins. If a child is using the Munchee, make the time to sit together quietly with a book they love and help them understand the Munchee is here to help their teeth grow big, strong and healthy. Have them chew as you read, gradually increasing to 10mins twice a day (two stories!).What's Included
- Medical-grade silicone
- Multiple small interior prongs stimulate the gums.
- Mini Munchee comes with a handle that can be removed with scissors.

Age: The Myo Munchee Junior is the perfect size for children aged 4 years up to 8 years.
Body Type: Age in conjunction with an inter-canine width measurement of 30-35mm
- At age 8 years plus or for younger children with larger body types, it would be recommended to be guided by your myofunctional therapist as to the 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 myofunctional therapist who has insights into how best to optimize facial growth, function, and future development.
Transition 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 an 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.
