is one of the most commonly seen oral habits. Around 4 pounds of pressure are exerted with each swallow and the average human swallows about 1,200 to 2,000 times every 24 hours. When the tongue presses against the teeth frequently it can push the teeth out of alignment. This necessitates the use of orthodontic appliances. If the tongue thrust is not corrected, the child can push his teeth out of alignment again, even after they are corrected with braces.
