Language push ===========================
Tongue thrusting is one of the destructive oral habits in which the infant pushes his tongue towards and between the upper and lower teeth. This habit is completely normal in babies up to 2 years old, but after that it can cause problems. These habits are caused by the habit of sucking the thumb, which leads to a gap between the upper and lower teeth. This problem can be treated using a partial orthodontic appliance that is easily placed by an orthodontist on the upper jaw (upper jaw) and prevents the tongue from drifting. With early detection of this--- , you can visit an orthodontist to stop this habit and prevent crooked teeth in your child. The orthodontist will determine if your child's tongue thrusting habit needs treatment or not and which treatment is appropriate for his condition.
**Effects of tongue drift**
Tongue thrust is a very common habit among babies, and in fact, it is not considered a problem until the age of 5 and does not need treatment. This habit is formed due to sucking the thumb and the position of the tongue in this situation. Over time, the position of the tongue changes and the baby stops sticking out his tongue. A child may stick out his tongue for many reasons. including the habit of thumb sucking.
The tongue in the mouth has many functions such as maintaining the airway, helping chewing, swallowing, digestion, and developing the face and speech. This bad habit can make it difficult for the language to perform its tasks. Tongue thrust can disrupt the natural growth of teeth and lead to protruding teeth and crooked teeth.
The tongue begins to grow and form in the fetus's mouth in the fourth week of pregnancy. In some cases, impaired language development can cause deformities in the child's jaw and mouth that may require treatment in adulthood. Orthodontics is one of these treatments. In these situations, tongue thrust may occur due to other problems. Some diseases, such as Down's syndrome, can lead to abnormalities in the formation of the tongue and jaws and show themselves with tongue thrust after birth and during childhood.
#### **necessity of tongue thrust treatment**
An orthodontist can decide if tongue thrust is a serious problem that needs treatment or just a habit that can be broken with a consultation. The orthodontist identifies the cause of tongue protrusion and suggests the appropriate treatment and orthodontic device. Treatments are not always complicated and do not always require surgery. In most cases, this problem is due to the child's bad habits and can be treated with easy solutions. Note that if a tongue thrust is not treated, it can turn into a serious malocclusion and require more complex and longer treatment.
You may be confused and not know how serious your child's problem is. Usually, children outgrow the habit of tongue thrusting by the age of 5. If you notice that your child still has this habit, you need to see an orthodontic specialist to decide on the treatment. Articles
