What is tongue thrusting treatment?
Tongue thrusting is when the tongue pushes against or between the front teeth during swallowing, speaking or at rest. Over time, this pressure can push teeth forward, create an open bite where the front teeth don't meet, and affect speech. At Urja Dental Clinic in Phase 3B2, Mohali, we assess the cause, which may include habits, enlarged tonsils, mouth breathing or a tight tongue-tie. Treatment may include a tongue crib or habit-breaking appliance, myofunctional therapy exercises to retrain the tongue and swallowing pattern, myofunctional appliances, frenectomy if needed, and braces to correct the teeth. Early treatment in children gives the best results, but adults can also benefit.
