A tongue thrust habit is the habit of placing the tongue in the wrong position during swallowing, either too far forward or to the sides. It is estimated that every 24 hours, you swallow a total of 1,200 to 2,000 times, with about four pounds of pressure per swallow. This repeated pressure of the tongue will force the teeth and arches out of alignment. In addition to the pressure exerted while swallowing, nervous thrusting also pushes the tongue against the teeth while it is at rest. This is an involuntary, subconscious habit that pushes the teeth out of alignment and tends to reverse orthodontic work. Tongue Thrusting Intervention Correction by MyoFunctional Therapy or Tongue-Thrust Therapy, is an exercise technique that re-educates the tongue muscles. It is similar to “physical therapy” for the tongue, which is taught by a trained therapist. There are in-office visits and home exercises. The length of therapy is based upon the child’s cooperation and dedication. Therapy has proven to give the highest percentage of favorable results. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b80eb50aa9c81650ea066d/1639762393622-YZJ03UUQTIRWQ1YASFG2/unsplash-image-1Co4wZ4nTDw.jpg Services - Feeding and Swallowing - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.soundvoices.org/programs/little-kids-ezdx3 monthly 0.5 2021-12-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8b84ccdeec236234bf2c3b/1597773077317-GTGBOSL4OGTUYG1OU3BU/wand%402x.jpg Services - Communication https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8b84ccdeec236234bf2c3b/1597773059221-QMVA1SXW8CBZYHNAOCW6/boot%402x.jpg Services - Communication https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8b84ccdeec236234bf2c3b/1597773039218-6Y0PW7PEK790S1HD3NDE/schedule%402x.jpg Services - Communication
