Yao is a paediatric oral muscle strengthening device that targets weak lip and biting muscles. It uses a centrifugal shaft mechanism, in which motor activation drives a reduction gear that controls the shaftís speed. The centrifugal force inflates an air sac, enabling dynamic adjustment of biting force. Yao also features integrated sensors and an app for real-time monitoring and feedback.
