First ORO-Facial Myofunctional Rehabilitation device via anoetic way.
Made in France🇫🇷,Froggy Mouth is a functional Rehabilitation Device.
It makes your tongue position and nasal breathing Rehabilitations durable by completely inhibiting the primary swallowing sequence. Froggymouth is described as anoetic because it does not require active participation from the patient.
Froggymouth explained to health professionals:
What is Froggymouth? Explained by Samantha Weaver, M.S., CCC-SLP:
Supported by Published Clinical Data
FROGGYMOUTH was conceptualized by Doctor Fellus at the Robert Debré University Hospital to meet the need for stability in treatments. It will achieve multidisciplinary success thanks to its simple, effective protocol with a specific therapeutic objective: the automation of functional balance.
-
Based on published research
-
Developed at a leading Paris hospital
-
Based on current knowledge in orofacial functional rehabilitation
Froggymouth device is worn for 15 minutes a day in front of a television screen in order to capture the patient's attention and maintain a horizontal lingual plane.
-
This helps stimulate the circuits managing automation, rather than those controlling voluntary movements.
-
This brings us closer to automation, your therapeutic goal.
Device for passive functional rehabilitation

✅ Rehabilitates swallowing
✅ Restores nasal breathing
✅ Guide to orofacial growth in children
🇫🇷Made in France
⭐ Compatible with all other orthodontic appliances (removable appliances, brackets, aligners, etc.)
⭐ From 3 years old to no age limit
📺 worn 15 minutes a day in front of a television screen
WHAT EFFECT ON BREATHING?
If tongue rehabilitation is crucial, it is because it also determines the patient's breathing pattern. A high posture at rest of the posterior part of the tongue constitutes, in itself, a seal preventing air from passing through the oral cavity.
here again, it is the notion of comfort described by Lledo that will sustainably restore the establishment of nasal breathing through a domino effect.
"The tongue is a respiratory organ. Restoring nasal breathing requires the rehabilitation of myofunctional praxis."
Dr. Takashi ONO
"This Dual functional necessity, posterior linugal and occlusal, too often forgotten by orofacial function rehabilitation specialists, is probably one of the causes of the all-too-frequent failures of rehabilitation."
Jean Delaire, 2015
HOW DO WE MOVE FROM INHIBITION OF ATYPICAL SWALLOWING TO CORRECTING THE POSITION OF THE TONGUE AT REST?
Chewing, swallowing, speaking and breathing are praxis that interact and influence each other at all times. Dysfunction in one of them is all it takes to create an imbalance among all the praxis of the orofacial sphere.
On the other hand, automated reeducation for swallowing harmonizes the entire orofacial sphere thanks to a chain reaction that begins with the elevation of the styloglossus.
-
Wearing Froggymouth first forces secondary swallowing until it becomes automatic.
-
Once the praxis becomes automatic, the tongue is raised against the palate every time you swallow.
-
The notion of comfort determines the tongue’s position between each swallow.
-
The tongue will adopt a raised position at rest in view of repeated elevation for swallowing.
"The notion of comfort is the priority of the new program: the most effective solution is chosen and then consolidated for further use."
P.M Lledo
"Early treatment, as soon as possible, is a duty for all practitioners to help each child grow up properly and express his or her potential."
Dr. Patrick Fellus, Inventor of the Froggymouth

How to choose?
Horizontally, The Froggymouth should be slightly SMALLER than patient's mouth size. The action of Froggymouth is to inhibit the facial nerve and therefore prevent Labio-mental and Jugal contractions during swallowing. Inhibition of the facial nerve will promote the action of its Antagonic, The Trigeminal Nerve. The Latter controls the respiration centers in the pontic tegmentum by its sensitive center and will therefore promote a restoration of NASAL BREATHING. You understand why a horizontally Froggymouth larger than the inter-commissural gap will not be suitable So, if in doubt between two sizes, we will always recommend the SMALLER ONE. This will help prevent stretching of the lips at the level commissures and thus stimulate the facial nerve.
