How Are They Used?
Chewy Tubes are offered for tactile input at the location of the molar dentition/molar gum region as follows:

• Present one Chewy Tube laterally into the mouth
• Touch the stem of the Chewy Tube to the cutting surface of the molar teeth/gum
• Help improve jaw stability and provide valuable sensory input into the jaw through biting on a Chewy Tube

Chewy Tubes should always be used with supervision. Assessment of the jaw is recommended prior to biting on Chewy Tubes. Patients should follow the recommendations of their therapist or caregiver when using Chewy Tubes.
