malocclusion”.
ABSTRACT:
● BACKGROUND:
The tongue is a muscle that serves purposeful and precise motor tasks like eating,
drinking and speaking; but the resting tongue position affects the surrounding
structures and may result in altered arch form and jaw relationship.
● OBJECTIVES:
To show and evaluate the available evidence regarding tongue thrusting as the
responsible for the development of a malocclusion.
● METHODS:
2. In the second article we will talk about the rapid maxillary expansion in
children with mouth breathing. A total of 39 prepubertal mouth breathing
subjects with posterior crossbite (mean age 8.5 years) have been studied.
● RESULTS:
2. After the treatment, the dorsum of tongue moved closer to the palatine vault,
the position of the hyoid bone did not undergo significant variations and the
respiratory pattern clinically improved in 64% of subjects.
4. The results of the study have indicated that the presence of articulation
disorders is strongly associated with the anterior open bite present in tongue-
thrust swallowers but a simple, direct relationship between the presence of
defective consonant sounds and tongue-thrust swallowing has not been
found.
● CONCLUSION:
As long as we're not talking, eating or drinking we should rest the tongue (from the back to
the tip) on the roof of our mouth to avoid alterations in the maxillary, speech disorders and
open bite.
