Is your child still using a pacifier or thumb sucking? This can lead to dental/orthodontic problems.

More commonly know as "tongue-tie" or lip-tie." A tongue-tie is an embryological remnant of tissue or apnoneurosis of the genioglossus muscle in the midline between the undersurface of the tongue and the floor of the mouth that restricts tongue movement. Ankyloglossia is a severely restricted tongue-tie.

While a lips apart resting posture is often a result of nasal airway obstruction, once the airway obstruction is corrected the lips-apart pattern remains a persistent habit that must further be addressed

When the tongue moves or rests forward and pushes against the teeth. During the swallow, instead of pushing up to the palate the tongue moves forward or laterally, called anterior, bi-lateral, uni- lateral or bi-maxillary tongue thrust.
