Hi Dcastell,
Tongue thrusting is usually seen in children and can readily be corrected. In adulthood, this can be a tricky habit to break. However, you may find some help consulting with an orthodontist who may suggest and fabricate an appliance called a tongue crib. He may also suggest some exercises to help break the habit. The goal is to stop the habit, which a mouth guard will not do. Hope you can consult with the orthodontist soon. Bryanna Quote:
