Description

Jaw Grading Bite Blocks are essential tools designed to promote symmetrical jaw strength, stability, and grading, particularly for individuals with weak jaw musculature. These bite blocks are ideal for addressing challenges in speech sound production or feeding, such as reduced jaw mobility, sliding, or jutting. Perfect for therapy targeting articulation, dysarthria, Orofacial Myofunctional Disorders (OMDs), and tethered oral tissues (TOTs), they provide the support needed to improve jaw function and oral motor skills. An excellent addition to any speech or feeding therapy program.

Benefits of Jaw Grading Bite Blocks:

• Improves Jaw Strength: Helps build and maintain symmetrical jaw strength.
• Enhances Stability: Promotes better jaw control and stability during speech and feeding.
• Supports Grading: Encourages smooth, controlled jaw movements.
• Addresses Weak Musculature: Ideal for clients with weak jaw muscles, improving overall function.
• Treats Multiple Conditions: Useful for treating articulation disorders, dysarthria, Orofacial Myofunctional Disorders (OMDs), and tethered oral tissues (TOTs).
• Increases Mobility: Aids in reducing jaw mobility issues such as sliding or jutting.

How to Use Jaw Grading Bite Blocks:

1. Select the Appropriate Block: Choose the correct size block based on the client’s jaw strength and stability needs.
2. Place in the Mouth: Have the client gently bite down on the block, positioning it between the molars.
3. Perform Jaw Exercises: Instruct the client to perform specific jaw exercises, such as graded opening and closing movements.
4. Increase Difficulty Gradually: Progress to smaller or firmer blocks as the client’s strength and control improve.
5. Incorporate into Therapy Sessions: Use during speech or feeding therapy to address specific oral motor challenges.
