Myochew™

Improvement of breathing, tongue and chewing function, plus oral hygiene

The Myochew™ has been specially designed for young children to encourage nasal breathing and improve the function of the tongue and chewing muscles, while bristle projections assist with oral hygiene. The appliance is also suitable for special needs children, who are especially prone to the previously mentioned issues. The Myochew™ provides children with a fun and effective way of correcting the problems that hinder dental and jaw development, while improving nasal breathing and oral hygiene. The Myochew™ can be combined as an adjunct in MRC's treatment systems, but is mainly used out of the box by patients directly.

The design features of the Myochew™ are ideally suited to provide active training for the muscles of the lips and tongue, as well as the chewing muscles, while encouraging nasal breathing and improving oral hygiene.

Cleaning the Appliance

Clean the Myochew™ appliance under warm running water every time you remove it from the mouth. The Myochew™ can be sterilised in boiling water if required, though this may decrease the life of the appliance.
