MyoTape | From 4 to 16 Years Old | Miofunctional Device to Promote Proper Nasal Breathing

MyoTape Miofunctional Device for Children Aged 4 to 16 Years

MyoTape for Children is a device developed to promote proper nasal breathing and improve facial posture in children. It helps in the healthy development of oral and nasal muscles, as well as reducing respiratory and postural problems associated with mouth breathing. Made with hypoallergenic materials, the product is safe for sensitive skin and has an ergonomic design that ensures comfort and effectiveness.

MyoTape does not block the mouth but gently surrounds it, keeping the lips together with a slight elastic tension that encourages nasal breathing. It is a device that can be worn during the day and night, without interfering with speech. To improve breathing patterns, it is recommended to use it for 60 to 90 days. MyoTape is adjustable, suitable for children of various ages, and provides an effective method for restoring healthy breathing habits.

Why Choose MyoTape for Children?

• Safety and Comfort: Designed specifically for children, MyoTape uses high-quality materials that do not irritate the skin.

Benefits
