A restorative DDS has corrected my bite with extensive work, but the tongue thrusting has continued…WHY?! What can I do to stop this? <\/em><\/p>\n

I’ll make comments within your original email, below: <\/strong>I am a 63yr. old female who developed severe tongue thrusting & resulting<\/em>\u00a0malocclusion problems.<\/em><\/p>\n

It is rather odd to develop severe tongue thrusting suddenly.\u00a0 Something had to have occurred to have brought it on at this age.\u00a0 When did your first notice it?\u00a0<\/p>\n

A restorative DDS has corrected my bite with extensive work,<\/em>\u00a0 what type of work did he\/she do restoratively?\u00a0 but the tongue thrusting has continued…WHY?! What can I do to stop this?<\/em><\/p>\n

Tongue thrusting is merely a symptom of something else.\u00a0 Sometimes a chewing or biting or sucking habit contributes; sometimes allergies or other congestion is a culprit; sometimes the actual bone structure\/growth causes one to “thrust”…. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Have you checked out\u00a0 https:\/\/orofacialmyology.com<\/a> \u00a0 There are various articles and info that might help you pinpoint the cause or causes.\u00a0 Are you lisping also?\u00a0 If so, did that also recently start?\u00a0 How are your eating habits?\u00a0 Picky? Slow? messy? noisy?\u00a0 It is difficult to advise you without more specifics regarding other symptoms.\u00a0 Are your tonsils enlarged?\u00a0 That would be very unusual for an adult, but thought I’d ask. \u00a0\u00a0 One last thing to consider:\u00a0 looking into a mirror, open your mouth as widely as you can; while keeping your mouth wide open, see how far upward you can raise your tongue.\u00a0 Can you reach all the way up behind your upper teeth without closing your mouth very much?\u00a0 What does that tissue (frenum) underneath the tongue look like?\u00a0 Is it attached close to the tip of your tongue?\u00a0 Is it very short?\u00a0 Does it attach at the other end to the floor of your mouth or forward on the bone just beneath your lower teeth? Answer me these questions and include our full email so I can see our whole discussion…I will try to help if I can possibly do so. My best,<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
