About Tongue Thrust & Myofunctional Therapy

Myofunctional therapy addresses disorders of the muscles and functions of the face and mouth. Tongue thrust — where the tongue pushes forward against or between the teeth during swallowing, speaking, or at rest — is the most common myofunctional disorder in children. Left untreated, it can affect dental alignment, speech clarity, and swallowing efficiency.
