Myo-Munchee is a soft, chewable oral device designed to support the natural development of oral muscles and jaw function. Made from medical-grade silicone, it encourages consistent chewing, which helps strengthen the lips, tongue, and facial muscles. Myo-Munchee is often used as part of myofunctional therapy, especially for children, to improve breathing patterns, tongue posture, and overall oral habits while supporting healthy jaw growth.
Myo-Munchee provides functional and developmental benefits by promoting proper muscle activity and improving oral habits. Regular use supports better breathing, swallowing, and jaw development.
✔ Encourages proper tongue posture and nasal breathing
✔ Strengthens jaw, lip, and facial muscles
✔ Supports healthy jaw development and alignment
✔ Helps correct poor oral habits like mouth breathing
Myo-Munchee supports improved oral function and long-term development, making it an effective and simple addition to preventive dental care.
Myo Munchee is a small, chewable oral device made from soft, medical-grade silicone, designed to support the muscles of the lips, face, and jaw. It’s not just a mouthguard, it’s a functional tool that encourages active chewing and muscle engagement, which can help promote healthier oral function in children and adults. This simple chewing appliance uses silicone prongs that massage the teeth and gums, stimulate oral muscles, and help encourage correct tongue posture and nasal breathing. Regular use, typically for a few minutes a day, can make chewing a more powerful exercise that strengthens orofacial muscles, supports jaw development, and promotes overall oral comfort. At Main Street Dental, Myo Munchee is recommended as part of a structured program to support healthy oral development and improve daily oral muscle activity.
Myo Munchee may aid in promoting nasal breathing and correct swallow patterns by encouraging proper lip closure and tongue positioning. This occurs because chewing on the device stimulates the muscles that help maintain these natural postures, which are essential for healthy oral function and proper airway development. When the tongue and lips work together correctly, the roof of the mouth receives better stimulation, supporting harmonious development of the jaw and palate over time. Regular use can gradually reduce habits such as mouth breathing, tongue thrusting, or incorrect swallowing patterns, which may otherwise negatively impact dental alignment, bite function, and facial growth. At Main Street Dental, Myo Munchee is used as part of a comprehensive approach to enhance breathing, swallowing, and oral muscle strength, while also supporting proper jaw development.
Myo Munchee is designed in multiple sizes to suit different age groups — from babies learning to chew to older children and adults seeking improved oral function. Each size is chosen based on jaw width and stage of development, ensuring the right fit and effectiveness. For infants and toddlers, it may help transition from pacifier use and support initial chewing skills. For children, it can contribute to muscle strength, jaw development, and early oral habits. For adults, it can help maintain muscle tone and may be used as a supportive tool alongside professional care such as myofunctional therapy or orthodontics. Main Street Dental provides guidance on choosing the correct size and usage schedule, ensuring that each patient gets maximum benefit from Myo Munchee. It is integrated safely into daily routines with monitoring for progress and effectiveness.
Beyond strengthening muscles and supporting correct oral patterns, Myo Munchee may also boost saliva production and act as a gentle cleaning stimulus for teeth and gums. Increased saliva helps maintain oral hygiene by naturally rinsing the mouth and supporting a healthier oral environment. Some practitioners also use Myo Munchee in conjunction with orthodontic or myofunctional programmes to help reinforce positive muscle habits, support improved airway and jaw posture, and encourage healthier oral behaviours. Because of its simple design and ease of use, it’s often incorporated into daily routines as part of a broader approach to oral wellbeing. At Main Street Dental, we include Myo Munchee as part of a holistic plan to enhance oral function, improve muscle habits, and maintain oral comfort. It is simple, safe, and effective when used alongside professional advice, helping patients achieve long-term oral wellness.

What causes tooth pain and how can it be treated?
Tooth pain is commonly caused by tooth decay, gum disease, cracked
or broken teeth, dental infections, or teeth grinding. Treatment depends
on the cause and may include fillings, root canal treatment, gum
therapy, bite adjustments, or pain management. At Main Street Dental, we assess
the source of the pain and provide targeted treatment to restore
comfort and protect your long term oral health.
You can improve your oral health by brushing twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, flossing or using interdental brushes daily, limiting sugary foods and drinks, and avoiding smoking. Maintaining a healthy diet and drinking plenty of water also supports strong teeth and gums. Regular home care combined with check-ups at Main Street Dental helps keep your smile healthy long term.
