MyoMunchee®
Supporting Oral Function, Breathing & Development

Oral Function Matters More Than You Think
MyoMunchee® therapy to support breathing, posture, and nervous system health

As a certified MyoMunchee practitioner, I use this gentle, evidence-informed tool alongside chiropractic care to support oral muscle function, breathing patterns, and overall neuromuscular coordination at every stage of life.

What is MyoMunchee?

The MyoMunchee is a medical-grade silicone chewing device originally developed to stimulate and strengthen the muscles of the face, jaw, lips, and tongue through a simple, natural act - chewing. Unlike a mouthguard, it’s designed to support oral function and encourage healthy development from infants to adults by engaging key muscles that influence breathing, swallowing, chewing, tongue posture, and facial growth.

​

MyoMunchee is used as a therapeutic tool alongside targeted guidance to improve oral muscle strength and neuromuscular coordination - foundational elements of overall craniofacial and airway health.

MyoMunchees for all ages

How MyoMunchee Works

At its core, MyoMunchee uses the rhythm of chewing to train and reinforce:

​

  • Oral muscle tone (lips, tongue, cheeks, jaw)

  • Correct swallowing patterns

  • Nasal breathing and lip seal

  • Tongue resting posture

  • Jaw development and alignment

​

Just a few minutes of chewing each day helps strengthen and coordinate the muscles that support healthy oral posture and function.

Is MyoMunchee Right for You or Your Child?

Every mouth, body, and nervous system is different. Before recommending MyoMunchee, I assess posture, breathing, oral muscle function, and movement patterns to ensure it’s the right fit - and that it’s used safely and effectively.

Conditions & Functional Challenges It Helps With

MyoMunchee is suitable for a wide range of patients — from infants beginning oral development to adults seeking functional improvement. Its benefits typically involve improving oral motor function, breathing habits, and neuromuscular coordination that affect overall health.

Infants & Young Children

  • Difficulty transitioning from suck to chew (e.g., reliance on pacifiers)

  • Mouth breathing and poor lip seal

  • Tongue thrust and incorrect swallow patterns

  • Drooling and messy eating

  • Delayed oral motor development

  • Early jaw development concerns

  • Habit elimination (thumb/finger suck)

Children & Teens

  • Open mouth posture or habitual mouth breathing

  • Speech and swallow coordination challenges

  • Narrow dental arches or crowded teeth

  • Snoring or mild sleep-related breathing issues

  • Support for orthodontic treatment
    (sizes: JUNIOR, TWEEN)

Adults

  • Weak oral musculature affecting chewing or swallow

  • Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) discomfort or tension

  • Postural imbalances related to jaw and airway function

  • Mouth breathing and sleep quality concerns

  • Orthodontic relapse or bite imbalance
