The effect of the tongue on development of the dental occlusion is a result of its pressure on teeth and other areas during rest and function.
Poor tongue posture and associated tongue dysfunction or bad habits such as digit sucking can result in malocclusion of teeth, such as open-bite malocclusion (Acta Otorhinolaryngol Ital. 2016; 36(5); 386).
Tongue exercise and correction of tongue posture are very important for retention of orthodontic treatment and prevention of relapse (Eur J Orthod. 2016; 38(3); 227).
