What we eat greatly influences\u00a0how<\/em> we eat. The act of vigorously chewing puts pressure on the teeth, which then stimulates bone growth. In today’s on-the-go lifestyle, we tend to give our kids foods that are processed by machines that have “done the chewing for them.”<\/p>\n In 1939, Canadian Dentist Weston Price DDS published his book Nutrition and Physical Degeneration<\/em><\/a> in which he concluded that narrow jaws and crowded teeth could be attributed to a diet of processed fats, sugars, and flour. Then in Australian dentist Dr. Kevin Bourke<\/a> posited that gnawing on hard foods is key to our facial development.<\/p>\n The simple answer is, eat raw fruits and vegetables, hard crusts of bread, and spend time chewing meat right down to the bone. This isn’t practical for every child or every family, and that is where daily use of a MyoMunchee can be a life saver.<\/p>\n The MyoMunchee is an oral trainer that stimulates the gums, and demands the child to use chewing muscles that have otherwise not been challenged.
