Progressive Jaw Closure Tubes

Progressive Jaw Closure Tubes

The Progressive Jaw Closure Tubes are a set of six graduated tubes designed to teach volitional jaw closure for clients who cannot close the jaw on command for feeding or speech sound production. Used in a structured hierarchy, these tools are especially effective for clients with cerebral palsy, traumatic brain injury, or adults with limited jaw mobility following radiation treatment.

  • Develop lip rounding as a co-requisite for jaw closure in feeding and speech
  • Build the jaw closure and lip rounding prerequisites for functional straw drinking
  • Support speech sound production that requires jaw grading and closure
  • Provide a graded, progressive framework for jaw rehabilitation
  • Six graduated tubes allow precise, stepwise progression toward full jaw closure
  • Addresses jaw closure and lip rounding simultaneously within a single hierarchy
  • Particularly effective for neurological and acquired conditions affecting jaw function
