Shipping costs calculated at checkout.
The mouthpiece is made of mild steel coated with a blue layer (“sweet iron”). When exposed to moisture, heat, and air, it develops a sweet-tasting surface rust that stimulates salivation and encourages acceptance of the bit. The blue coating eventually disappears, but the taste of the surface rust remains.
✨ Key benefits
- ✔ Mild steel: its surface rust has a sweet taste that promotes salivation
- ✔ Anatomical shape, evenly distributed pressure

🐎 Why choose this product?
With a double-jointed bit, the mouthpiece consists of three parts, and the central part lies flat on the tongue. This creates more pressure on the tongue than a single-jointed bit, but eliminates the V-shaped effect toward the palate.
🧴 Care and use instructions
If the bit remains unused for some time, a brown-orange layer of rust may form on the mouthpiece: a damp cloth is sufficient to remove it. ⚠️ Do not try to remove the surface rust with an abrasive product—it is what creates the desired taste. Measure the width from one ring to the other, with the mouthpiece stretched straight. ⚠️ A bit that is too narrow pinches the corners of the mouth; one that is too wide moves around in the mouth and knocks against the teeth. Allow approximately half a centimeter of visible mouthpiece on each side.
