Myo Munchee Therapy
Transforming Pediatric Oral Health Care
Myo Munchee, a revolutionary oral health device developed by Australian dentist Dr. Kevin Bourke, is transforming pediatric oral health care. This soft, medical-grade silicone chewing device, shaped like a mouthguard, is designed to enhance oral muscle development, promote healthy breathing, and address habits like thumb sucking through myofunctional therapy.
​
Myo Munchee stimulates and desensitizes the lips, face, and jaw muscles when chewed for just 10 minutes daily. At Agape Pediatric Dentistry, we recommend Myo Munchee therapy to empower parents and improve various pediatric oral health conditions, including tongue tie, special needs, and pacifier habits.
