Tongue Thrusting Treatment in San Juan Capistrano
Tongue thrusting can negatively affect facial and dental development and hamper orthodontic treatment in many ways. A significant percentage of orthodontic patients have had some form of tongue thrust habit that caused the displacement of their teeth and/or affected jaw development, thus causing them to need braces. Persistence of a tongue thrust issue may prolong orthodontic treatment, prevent correction, or cause relapse of the orthodontic result.
