Myo Munchee Mini Program - Under four years

The Myo Munchee Mini is a program designed specifically for toddlers (18+ months) and preschool-aged children (under 4 years) who are not yet developmentally ready for a structured myofunctional therapy program. Following a comprehensive assessment, an individualised treatment plan is developed to support your child's specific oral function and developmental needs. The program incorporates simple, playful daily routines and parent-guided activities that encourage healthy oral function through enjoyable, age-appropriate experiences integrated into everyday life.

This guided program includes a Myo Munchee® as part of your child's treatment plan to support oral muscle function, healthy movement patterns and the development of positive oral habits. The program includes access to the Myo Munchee® Journey Guide to support home-based therapy, alongside fortnightly review appointments to monitor progress, assess outcomes and progress treatment where appropriate.

Parents and caregivers play an integral role throughout the program and are provided with education and guidance to encourage progress between appointments. The Myo Munchee targets areas to improve nasal breathing, oral resting posture, lip seal, chewing skills, swallowing patterns, oral habits and the development of healthy oral and facial function.

Where appropriate, care is coordinated with your dentist, GP, paediatrician, ENT specialist, speech pathologist, lactation consultant or other healthcare professionals to achieve the best possible outcomes.

To ensure a comprehensive evaluation, the initial assessment is completed in person. Follow-up appointments may be attended either in person or via telehealth where clinically appropriate.

Maintenance & Progress Reviews are available following completion of the program to monitor development, reinforce healthy oral function and provide ongoing support as your child grows.

Bendigo Myofunctional Therapy operates from a purpose-designed private home clinic in Bendigo, providing a calm, welcoming and family-friendly environment for clients of all ages. Many young children feel more comfortable in a home-based setting than in a traditional clinical environment, helping to create a relaxed and positive experience during assessments and therapy sessions. Operating as a home-based practice also minimises overhead costs, allowing comprehensive, personalised care to be provided at an accessible price.
