Froggymouth is a small removable device made from a material flexible, TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) that contains no latex or phthalates, created by Dr. Patrick Fellus (Specialist in dentofacial orthopedics, CHU Robert Debré, Paris), taking a cue from the research of Eric Kandel (Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine) on biological mechanisms of memory storage.

Froggymouth Myofunctional Rehabilitation Device
Mechanism of Action
How Does Froggymouth Work?
Sizing
Froggymouth revolutionizes the approach to Myofunctional Rehabilitation acting as a suction-deglutition inhibitor and interrupting the pathological loop by preventing bilabial contact and forcing the tongue to position itself correctly, re-educating atypical swallowing, and lingual posture, and restoring nasal breathing.
This new swallowing pattern will allow the establishment of a new mnemonic engram/trace and this will occur at the subcortical level causing permanent biochemical changes at the synaptic level.
Indications:
• Atypical swallowing/lingual interposition between the arches
• Anterior/lateral open bite
• Transverse contraction
• Anterior/posterior crossbite
• Increased overjet
• Proclinated incisors
• Deep bite
• Mandibular protrusion
• Dyslalies
• Bruxism
• Altered posture
• Oral respiration and adenoid syndromes
• Snoring
• Drooling
All of these clinical conditions have one thing in common: they are all related, in different ways, to tongue posture.
In fact, at present, 1/3 of the population suffers from dysfunctions.
