Product Description
ARK's Y-Chew® oral motor chew tool exercises the lips, tongue, cheeks, and especially the jaw, allowing the mouth to learn and grow strong through oral exploration. It can also be used as an oral fidget for sensory seekers craving oral input and stimulation, as a safe alternative to biting/chewing on fingers, shirts, and other hazardous non-food items, to decrease thumb sucking, tooth grinding, and finger/knuckle biting, to practice biting/chewing skills without the risk of choking, to improve jaw strength, jaw stability, tongue movement, and other feeding skills, to satisfy the urge to chew for individuals who are fed through a g-tube, to build oral tone, strength, mobility, control, coordination, and endurance, to decrease oral sensitivities, oral defensiveness, and food aversions. Made in the USA! They're constructed out of medical grade, FDA compliant materials that contain NO lead, phthalates, PVC, BPA, or latex. They're also molded out of one solid piece of material with no holes or crevices that could harbor saliva or bacteria. Caution: This product is not a toy. Although these chew tools are made out of sturdy, medical grade materials, no chew tool is indestructible. Some individuals (particularly those with heavy oral needs and aggressive biting/chewing) may be able to damage the tools - how long they last depends on the sensory needs of the individual as well as other variables (stress/anxiety levels in their life, their jaw strength, if a sensory diet / other calming strategies are in place, etc). Please supervise at all times and replace if necessary when the item shows signs of wear and tear. For the toughest chew tool that lasts the longest for avid chewers, search for ARK's Y-Chew XXT.
