It is common, but not healthy, for patients to have inadequate space for their tongue due to their jaws being too narrow or set back, compromising their airway.  How can this show up in our patients?
  • Crooked teeth
  • Thumb/finger/tongue sucking habit, past or present
  • Clenching and/or grinding of teeth, past or present
  • Mouth breathing, daytime and/or nighttime (includes snoring) which may lead to:
    - Halitosis (bad breath)
    - Increased caries rate (cavities)
    - Red/puffy/swollen gingiva (gums)
    - Irritated tonsils
    - Increased sensitivity to allergens
    - Poor sleep habits, including awakening during the night or bed wetting
    - Poor daytime concentration
    - Messy and/or loud eating
