Tongue thrust, a condition in which the tongue pushes against teeth or protrudes between them during swallowing and speaking, can significantly affect adults' oral health. The constant pressure exerted by the tongue against the teeth can lead to an open bite, overbite, or under bite. These misalignments affect the aesthetics of one's smile and pose functional challenges, such as difficulty in biting and chewing. If left untreated, tongue thrust can lead to dental issues, jaw pain, and TMJ disorders, all of which can worsen over time. Tongue thrust can also impact the longevity of dental restorations. Individuals with this habit may experience increased wear and tear on dental appliances, such as braces or retainers. This additional stress on dental structures may result in the need for more frequent repairs or adjustments, potentially increasing the overall cost of dental care. Seeking early intervention and professional guidance is crucial to mitigate these effects and promote optimal oral health throughout one's lifetime. These symptoms can lead to more complex oral health issues if left untreated.
