This essential tool is used in the famous activity “Bite Block hierarchy.” Jaw Grading Bite Blocks promote symmetrical jaw strength, stability, and grading for clients with weak jaw musculature evidenced during speech sound production or feeding (i.e. reduced mobility, sliding, or jutting).
As many OPT (Oral Placement Therapy) tools, it is used both to diagnose and treat. Excellent for use with Dysarthria, Apraxia and Dyspraxia.
⦿ Promotes jaw strength, stability
⦿ Imported from US.
⦿ Made from FDA-approved material. Instructions sheet Included.
⦿ The function is to improve jaw stability and grading. Excellent for use with apraxic / dyspraxic clients.
⦿ TalkTools Jaw Grading Bite Blocks are essential in OPT, supporting various clinical needs, from symmetrical jaw strength to stability and grading. They also help assess and treat conditions like articulation, apraxia, dysarthria, and OMDs
⦿ Comprehensive Therapy Aid: Specially made for weak jaw muscles, these blocks are crucial for speech and feeding evaluations. They help with muscle memory and are essential for therapists treating different disorders
⦿ Efficient Kit: Includes two sets of six Bite Blocks and an instruction booklet. Emphasizes reusability, durability, and easy cleaning for continuous therapist support
⦿ Safe Clinical Environment: These biting blocks maintain patient comfort and prevent unnecessary fatigue during dental procedures. Their design keeps jaws apart for efficient clinical outcomes
⦿ Orthodontic Support: Use biting blocks to prevent upper and lower teeth contact during orthodontic treatment, reducing the risk of bracket breakage and improving bite
What is jaw grading and stability?
Jaw stability during speech and feeding requires strength, coordination, and endurance to prevent the jaw from sliding forward and/or sideways.
Jaw grading is the ability to control the jaw to various jaw heights needed for speech and feeding skills. For example, note the difference in your jaw when saying “eee” vs “ahhh”. Or, imagine biting into a cracker vs a sandwich/burger.
Your jaw has to open to different heights to accommodate those different sounds and foods.
This item includes two sets of six reusable, durable and easily cleaned Bite Blocks and instructions for use.
Warning: Use all tools in this kit with adult supervision at all times. Not recommended for unsupervised use. Inspect each component before every use and dispose of any item at the first sign of damage or deterioration.
