ARK proSqueezer

The proSqueezer is an instrument for working on biting skills, tongue lifting and lip closing. The V-shape offers resistance when you squeeze it; perfect for exercising the jaw, tongue and/or lips.

The proSqueezer measures 19 cm and comes as a set of three. They all offer different resistance and therefore have different difficulty levels: magenta (easy to press), yellow (medium) and orange (most counter pressure). Start with the magenta proSqueezer and eventually move on to yellow and orange.

This video explains how to use this oral motor aid. Some exercises are described below:

Working on biting skills
- Place the V-part of the proSqueezer in front of the mouth and ask the person to bite down on it 5 times with the front teeth. Bite down and hold for a maximum of 5 seconds.
- Place the V-part of the proSqueezer between the premolars on one side. Ask the person to bite down on it 5 times. Bite and hold for up to 5 seconds. Repeat on the other side of the mouth.

Working on lip closure
- Place the V-section of the proSqueezer in front of the mouth and ask the person to squeeze their lips closed 5 times (using only their lips; not their teeth). Hold the squeeze for up to 5 seconds each time.

Working on tongue lift
- Place the V-section of the proSqueezer partially in the mouth. Ask the person to lift the device with the tip of their tongue (using only their tongue; without using their jaw). Then ask them to hold the squeeze for up to 5 seconds.
