🟢 Normal Swallow vs 🔴 Tongue Thrust

Why it matters more than you think

🟢 NORMAL SWALLOW
✔ Tongue rests on the roof of the mouth
✔ Lips relaxed, no excessive facial movement
✔ Teeth gently together
✔ Supports proper jaw growth, airway health & facial balance

🔴 TONGUE THRUST
✖ Tongue pushes forward or between teeth
✖ Lips, chin, or neck overactivate to swallow
✖ Often linked to mouth breathing
✖ Can contribute to:
• Open bite or crooked teeth
• Speech issues (lisping)
• Jaw pain & tension
• Narrow airway & poor sleep

💡 Did you know?
You swallow 1,000–2,000 times per day.
An incorrect pattern repeated that often can reshape the face, teeth, and airway over time.

✨ The good news:
Swallow patterns can be retrained with myofunctional therapy, improving function, breathing, and long-term oral health.

✨ Your Face Can Change—At Any Age ✨

Most people think facial structure is fixed… but your muscles, bite, and tongue posture play a HUGE role in how your face looks and functions.

👅 Myofunctional Therapy helps retrain the muscles of the face, tongue, and jaw, which can lead to real, visible changes over time.

💫 Potential facial & bite benefits include:
• Improved jaw alignment
• A more balanced facial profile
• Reduced facial tension & clenching
• Better lip seal & nasal breathing
• Support for orthodontic stability
• Fuller, more supported mid-face appearance
• Less strain in the neck & jaw

🦷 Why the bite matters:
Your bite affects how your face grows, how your muscles rest, and even how your airway functions. When the tongue rests correctly and muscles work in harmony, the face often follows.

✨ This isn’t about changing who you are—it’s about allowing your natural structure to function optimally.

📌 Myofunctional therapy focuses on:
✔ Tongue posture
✔ Proper swallowing
✔ Nasal breathing
✔ Balanced facial muscle use

Your face reflects your function.
Change the habits → change the outcome.

✨ How a Tongue Tie Can Quietly Change Someone’s LIFE ✨

Most people think tongue ties only affect babies.
But untreated tongue ties can impact kids, teens, and adults in ways you might never connect 👀

👅 A tongue tie can affect:
• Breathing (mouth breathing, snoring, sleep apnea)
• Sleep quality & fatigue
• Neck, jaw, and shoulder tension
• Headaches & TMJ
• Speech clarity & endurance
• Swallowing & digestion
• Posture & overall body tension
• Exercise performance
• Anxiety from chronic nervous system stress

💡 When the tongue can’t move properly, the body compensates — often for YEARS.

✨ After proper evaluation, release (when appropriate), and therapy, many people report:
• Deeper, more restful sleep
• Easier nasal breathing
• Reduced jaw/neck pain
• Better posture
• Improved focus & energy
• Less tension throughout the body
• Feeling “calm” for the first time

🧠 This isn’t just about the mouth —
it’s about how the tongue connects to the entire nervous system.

If you or your child have struggled with symptoms that don’t quite add up…
👉 it might be worth looking under the tongue.

Did you know your tongue is one of the most important muscles for proper breathing and swallowing?

A strong, well-positioned tongue helps:
✨ Keep your airway open
✨ Support nasal breathing
✨ Create the right pressure for an efficient swallow
✨ Improve oral posture and jaw development
✨ Reduce mouth-breathing habits

If the tongue is weak, it can fall low in the mouth, cause messy swallows, and make breathing less efficient.

Strong tongue = Better breathing. Better swallow. Better health. 🌬️💧
