THE TONGUE’S ROLE IN PROPER PALATE DEVELOPMENT AND BREATHING1

The proper development of the oral-craniofacial system is important to ensure the masticatory and phonatory function and physiological nasal breathing.

The tongue’s position plays an important role in the correct development of the baby’s mouth and palate. If the tongue is positioned correctly – at the top of the mouth and forwards – it will create constant pressure that allows the palate to expand and make space for dentition.

  • Prevents the risk of oropharyngeal obstruction
  • Prevents snoring
  • Promotes suitable air flow
