Mini Munchee
Myo Munchee Mini age guide: 18 months - 4 years
Suitable for children from 18 months old and can include children up to 5 years old if their jaw width is narrow and they have a history of:
- lip or tongue tie;
- mouth breathing;
- open bite malocclusion;
- food avoidance, or
- picky eating.
Why Myo Munchee Works? By actively chewing this soft appliance, you can get the body’s innate optimal functioning back on track. The reflexive response tool triggers help with retraining the muscles around the jaws and mouth to hold an ideal position (occlusion), breathing, posture and sleep.
The face is very sensitive so the muscles do generally react quickly.
Even so, it takes at least 60 days to retrain a habit.
80% of cranial facial growth will occur in the first 6 years of life. Chewing a Munchee is a great way to positively influence the growth, balance and function of the face and jaws at this critical time.
We have found Myo Munchee incredibly helpful with our patients, especially when used in conjunction with Myofunctional Therapy.

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
