ARK's Y-Chew Oral Motor Chew

ARK's Y-Chew® is an innovative oral motor chew tool specially designed to meet the needs of both children and adults who benefit from chewing stimulation. With three extensions to chew on, the Y-Chew® offers a unique chewing experience with different textures on each "arm" of the Y shape: one is smooth, another has ribs, and the third features gentle bumps. This variation provides a changing sensory experience, ideal for sensory seekers who need to chew or for anyone who needs to chew for any reason, such as a safe alternative to nail biting or teeth grinding. It is also an essential tool for oral motor/feeding therapy, allowing safe practice of biting and chewing skills without the risk of choking, while also improving jaw strength and stability and reducing oral sensitivities/food aversions.

The Y-Chew® is available in three color-coded toughness levels:

• Soft/Standard - recommended for mild chewers, individuals with low oral tone, or individuals with limited jaw strength just learning to bite and chew.
• XT/Medium Firm - XT stands for "Extra Tough." Recommended for moderate chewers or individuals working on building jaw strength.
• XXT/Very Firm - XXT stands for "Extra Extra Tough." This is the firmest option and offers the most resistance for the jaw, ideal for avid chewers. Manufactured in the United States by ARK Therapeutic, the Y-Chew® meets medical standards, is FDA compliant, and contains no lead, phthalates, PVC, BPA, or latex. Each piece is sold individually, allowing you to choose the desired option. Although these chew tools are sturdy and durable, no chew tool is indestructible. Regular inspection and replacement when signs of wear are recommended.

The Y-Chew® is not only an excellent purchase for providing the necessary chewing stimulation and supporting oral development, but it is also a durable product that is enthusiastically received by both children and adults. Customer reviews highlight the durability, variety of textures, and effectiveness for users with different needs, from light to intense chewers.
