WHAT IS THE MYO MUNCHEE?
A simple habit with long-term impact
The Myo Munchee is designed to encourage active chewing - a natural movement that helps support the muscles of the lips, face, and jaw.
In a world of soft foods and busy routines, many of us aren't getting the kind of chewing our development relies on. The Myo Munchee gives a simple, structured way to build that habit back in.
SIGNS OF DYSFUNCTION
You might be noticing...
If some of these feel familiar, you're not alone. It's often a sign that oral function needs a little more support.
Breathing & oral habits
- Mouth breathing
- Mouth resting open
- Thumb/dummy use
- Dribbling and drooling
Feeding & development
- Fussy or picky eating
- Tongue thrust swallow pattern
- Delayed speech
Sleep & regulation
- Sleep disturbance, snoring, nightmares
- Teeth grinding
- Bed wetting
Growth & alignment
- Crooked teeth or bite issues
- Jaw or facial asymmetry
- Ear infections or sinus congestion
- Behaviour or attention challenges
WHAT THIS CAN HELP SUPPORT
Small daily habits for benefits over time
Stronger oral muscles for clearer speech
Supports the lips, tongue, and jaw working together - helping your child speak more clearly and confidently.
Healthy jaw development and alignment
Encourages natural muscle use that supports how the jaw grows and develops over time.
Support for growing teeth and gums
Helps maintain a healthy oral environment as adult teeth begin to come through.
Balanced bite (occlusion)
Supports how the teeth come together, which plays a role in chewing, speaking, and overall function.
Encourages nasal breathing
Nose breathing supports better sleep, calmer bodies, and healthy development.
Improved sleep & communication
Supports habits that can positively influence sleep quality and everyday communication.
START WITH AGE, THEN REFINE
What size should I get?
It's never about being early or late - it's about supporting healthy function from where your child is now.
*Myo Munchee BEBE is designed for very early development and is provided through certified practitioners only to ensure the right guidance and fit.
To take the inter-canine width, measure the straight line distance between the top two pointy (canine) teeth, tip to tip.
Are you in-between sizes?
When in doubt, we recommend sizing down - a more manageable fit works more effectively, and it's the better call during growth and transition phases when children often fall between sizes.
A smaller size is also often the right choice if your child:
Is small for their age, or has a narrow palate, crowding, or a history of tongue-tie
Struggles to keep their lips together, drools, or has lower oral tone
Mouth breathes, is a picky eater, or has oral habits like thumb or dummy sucking
Still unsure? Contact our team and we'll help you choose.

How to use your Myo Munchee
A few minutes a day - simple to build into your routine
Start with 2–3 minutes, 1–2 times daily
Gradually build up to 5–10 minutes over time
Place
Pop the Munchee between the teeth and let the lips rest gently together. No need to bite down hard - it should sit comfortably, not feel forced.
Relax
Chew lightly and let the jaw do the work at its own pace. There's no right speed and no force needed. Slow, easy movements are exactly right.
Breathe
Keep breathing in and out through the nose the whole time. Stay relaxed and let the breath stay slow and steady.

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY
Real Experiences
We started using it for mouth breathing, and within a few weeks I noticed she was sleeping more peacefully and waking up less during the night.

Sizing is based on age and inter-canine width — the distance between the top two pointy (canine) teeth, measured tip to tip.
As a general guide: Mini (18 months–4 years), Junior (4–8 years, 30–35mm), Tween (8–14 years, 33–37mm), Adult (14+, 35–40mm). When in doubt, size down — a smaller fit works more effectively.

It comes down to repetition, positive encouragement, and frequent interactions every day — that's how people find success with their children.
An easy way is to integrate it into the daily routine. Many parents only allow TV or gaming time when the Munchee is in use. Others combine it with bedtime stories, car travel, or bathtime.
The Munchee Moves are a wonderful way for children to combine Munchee time with movement — family fun for all!
-
We usually recommend a 5-minute chew, twice a day, although this will vary depending on age, ability, level of dysfunction and goals.
Start with 2–3 minutes once or twice daily and gradually build up to 5–10 minutes over time. If your child is dealing with dysfunction, speak with your treating practitioner for personalised guidance.

The Myo Munchee is made of medical-grade silicone. After chewing, rinse it with fresh water, give it a good shake, dry it off with a tissue, and store it in a location with good airflow — just as you would a toothbrush.
For an extra clean, you can occasionally rinse with bicarb soda, rinse very well, and then place in just-boiled water for one minute.
