Myospots Oral Function Tool

Myospots

Myospots are made of safe, natural ingredients. There is no gluten, soy or dairy products in composition. There is also no animal derived product in the composition, making Myospots suitable for vegans, Halal, and Kosher users!

The main composition of Myospots is a mixture of Algae agar, cellulose gum and xanthan gum. In addition, there are small concentrations of the following: stevia (sweetener), natural fruit flavour (banana, blueberry or strawberry), natural colour and a safe preservative (potassium sorbate) to protect the product against microbial growth.

The product is designed in Australia by Myospots Australia Pty LTd and is manufactured by Acino Pharma in Switzerland under European GMP. Myospots are listed as class-1 medical device with Australian Register for Therapeutic Goods (ARTG-326829) and have a European GPSD (General Product Safety Directive) certificate.

How To Use:

Myospots are small, dissolvable, adhesive pads that adhere easily to the roof of the mouth by gently forcing them with your thumb against the hard palate (2-3 mm behind the two front teeth).

Once adhered, the spot stimulates your tongue involuntarily and unconsciously to elevate and touch it. It acts therefore as a tool to GUIDE and REMIND your tongue. It GUIDES the tongue to the correct spot (where it needs to elevate and rest on the roof of the mouth) and it also REMINDS the tongue to keep elevating until the spot is completely dissolved under the effect of saliva.

Each spot takes 45-50 min to dissolve completely, providing almost 1 hour of extensive tongue exercise with each spot.

Using 2-3 spots every day for 8 to 10 weeks helps in creating a tongue elevation habit that is associated with a lip seal and nasal breathing.

Furthermore, the gentle pressure exerted by the tongue on the surface of the hard palate provides good resistance exercise that results overtime in increasing tongue muscles strength.

This tongue strength is needed to maintain normal swallowing and speech functions and to maintain patent airways while awake and asleep.

The gentle pressure exerted by the tongue while resting on the palate induces the natural expansion of the maxilla, particularly in young children!
