Factors to consider
when choosing your Munchee!
Use the sizing chart and measure the inter-canine width, as a general guide, along with the below considerations...
Body Size
Are they big or small for their age? Do their jaws match in with their overall size?
Jaw size
Narrow palate, crooked teeth, history of tongue-tie? This person will be better to start with a smaller appliance and transition to the next size once they are very comfortable.
Overall Tone
Do they have evidence of low tone? Do they have trouble keeping their lips together when eating? Are they dribbling or drooling? Do they have low tone in their body as well? Start with a smaller size to ensure they can manage, and then transition to the next size once they have achieved comfortable lip competence.
Have they used a Munchee before?
If they are confident and experienced with a Munchee, then we would recommend they use the bigger size for their age range.
Does your child have special needs?
It is best to begin with a smaller size to make the introduction and management of the Munchee easier and more comfortable.
Low oral tone - Weak lips, tongue or cheeks, you may see this as dribbling/drooling.
Low tongue posture - Is the tongue resting on the floor of the mouth? It should rest on the roof of the mouth.
