Tongue Thrust

Tongue thrust, often misunderstood as the primary issue, is more accurately a symptom indicating an underlying problem with oral rest posture. Understanding this condition is pivotal as it acts as a red flag, leading to the discovery of deeper issues causing the tongue to thrust itself.

Essentially, a tongue thrust occurs when the tongue pushes against the teeth during swallowing, speech, or even at rest, affecting both dental and speech patterns. While it might seem like the sole concern, it’s crucial to recognize that a tongue thrust is a symptom of an oral rest posture problem.

Understanding the root cause of tongue thrust is essential in correcting the behavior and helping to ease the symptoms related!
