FROGGYMOUTH

Correct lingual posture, restore nasal breathing and stabilise treatments
From age 3 and without age limit

THE FIRST DEVICE FOR REHABILITATING ORO-FACIAL FUNCTIONS BY ANOETIC MEANS

FROGGYMOUTH IS A DEVICE FOR FUNCTIONAL REHABILITATION

It ensures that your lingual posture and nasal breathing rehabilitation continues, by completely inhibiting the swallowing-sucking sequence. Rehabilitation using FROGGYMOUTH is described as anoetic because it does not require any active participation from the patient.

FROGGYMOUTH was developed by Dr. Fellus at the Robert Debré University Hospital to meet the need for stable treatment and functional rehabilitation. It proved a multidisciplinary success thanks to its simple, effective protocol, with a precise therapeutic objective: the automation of functional balance.

Concept

The FROGGYMOUTH device is worn for 15 minutes a day during static activity (in front of the television, for example), to capture the patient’s attention and maintain a horizontal lingual plane.

Wearing the FROGGYMOUTH first forces, then automates, the correct execution of the secondary swallowing sequence.

Once the praxis has been automated, the elevation of the tongue against the palate is then repeated with each swallow.

Between each swallow, the notion of comfort determines the lingual posture. It is with a view to its repeated elevation during swallowing that the tongue will adopt a high posture at rest, stimulating nasal breathing.
